Artist Blindfolds Statues in Brazil
巴西現蒙眼雕塑
A Brazilian artist is staging a silent, peaceful protest by placing red blindfolds on prominent statues all over Rio de Janeiro. The artist, who prefers to remain anonymous, is trying to bring attention to a corruption scandal that connects former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to a bribery scheme with a state-owned oil company. Anti-government protests have broken out across Brazil with protesters calling for Lula’s successor, President Dilma Rousseff, to resign. Protesters feel that Rousseff's election win in 2014 was financed by dirty money from the scandal. The artist claims that the silent protest contrasts those who are unable to bring change to Brazil with those who can. The hiding of the eyes suggests that historic Brazilian figures would be ashamed of the present-day corruption.
某巴西藝術家發起“和平抗議”，里約多處著名雕像用紅絲帶蒙住眼睛。因前總統達席爾瓦陷petrobras貪污丑聞，此舉旨在喚醒公民意識。巴西全國爆發反政府游行，要求現任總統迪爾瑪·羅塞夫辭職。稱羅塞夫利用貪污贓款助資2014總統競選。該藝術家表示稱，通過“和平抗議”，巴西“無能者”與“變革者”形成了鮮明對比。通過蒙眼，歷代偉人將對當今腐敗感到可恥。
