Read the full manifesto:
“Brazil, May 8, 2020
We are Brazilian artists and we are part of the majority of citizens who defend democracy and support the independence of institutions to enforce the 1988 Constitution.
We are part of the majority that understands the seriousness of the moment in which we live and ask for respect for the dead and for those who fight for their own survival in the country devastated by the pandemic and the dire inefficiency of public power.
We are part of the majority of Brazilians who do not tolerate crimes committed by any government, who repudiate corruption and torture, and who do not want the military dictatorship to return.
We are part of the majority that does not accept repeated attacks against art, science and the press, and does not accept the destruction of the cultural sector or any threat to freedom of expression.
As artists, intellectuals and cultural producers, we form a majority that rejects the words and attitudes of Regina Duarte as Secretary of Culture.
It does not represent us. “
