Artist Blindfolds Statues in Brazil

巴西现蒙眼雕塑

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.
