This project consists of bringing to the exhibition space a series of paintings made on pieces of Brazilian buildings. In addition to proposing a construction of 3 to 5 walls made with materials and traditional techniques from Brazil which will be painted with fragments of facial and hand expressions. The paintings contain gestures and parts of the human body as part of an investigative study into the feeling of belonging to Brazil. In an attempt to reflect the unique moment that the country is experiencing politically, socially and culturally. Gestures, signs with hands and facial expressions are an important part of Brazilian culture and seek to provide a greater understanding of the people.

In essence, (Kapferer, 2007) states, “The city as a built formation materializes, houses and gives substance to its social and ideological structures”. Therefore these specific chosen materials give an idea about the society to which they belong. I believe the materiality of the city represents an urban social world.
