In February 2014, the Brazilian Post Office printed 600,000 stamps dedicated to the World Cup. In a few days, all of the 600,000 stamps had sold out on the internet and in stores.
 

In Rio de Janeiro, near the Maracanã stadium, where most of the World Cup games were played in Summer 2014, is the Antigo Museu do Índio. This is the country’s only site dedicated to indigenous culture, and it has been occupied by different Indian communities for years. In March 2013, after months of struggle, the Indians were violently removed from the museum by the military police. It was done to make way for a complex of restaurants, parking lots and stores filled with products related to the 2014 World Cup.
 

Today, after the end of the Worldcup, the Antigo Museu do Indio was able to escape from demolition, but it is barricaded and under the control of Government ; Indians have no right to access the place.

This work was made in order to interrogate the gap between the images a country produces when it comes to represent itself (the postcards used in the work were largely disseminated in the 70s and 80s in order to show the cultural diversity of Brazil) and its acts.

It was also made in support of Brazilian Indigenous peoples, with the will to highlight an event that occured in the shade of an international show that all eyes, all around the world, were watching.
