Description

Alessandra is inspired by the colourful and mesmerizing Rio Carnival. There you can find all colours in the world in one place. So in this artwork, I have used a wide range of colours. But behind all these colours, each one has gone through a lot of suffering and poverty. To understand the Rio samba schools, you have to know where the schools come from — poor, marginal communities, mainly in the favelas, or shantytowns, of the city. The school's annual displays cost millions of dollars — a combustible mix of money and poverty, says Aydano Motta, a journalist and author who has written extensively about Rio's samba schools. As she puts it, the carnival brings joy and woe to its participants. “The image of a woman in Carnival is very complex, not just for those on the ‘inside’ but for the people on the ‘outside’ as well. Dancing at the carnival helps them forget about everyday problems."
