Oraculo Project, journalist Zozimo Barroso do Amaral, Rio March 13, 2016
During the countrywide political protests on Sunday, March 13, art also made its stance. In São Paulo, the event was concentrated on Paulista Avenue, where the bold 1960s architecture of the MASP (Museum of Art of São Paulo) served as backdrop for millions of selfies witnessing the momentous march. But it was in Rio de Janeiro, which held the day’s second largest protest, that art conveyed a silent but powerful message about the government of president Dilma and former president Lula, the mythic leader of the PT (Workers Party) who is now implicated in the country’s biggest-ever corruption scandal.
The anonymous artist who, since 2010, works under the Oraculo Project insignia tagging cities around the world, went into action in the wee hours of the day, blindfolding one-hundred statues of historical figures in Rio’s streets, public squares and parks.

With the earth and its inhabitants under more pressure than ever before, and with bona fide climate change deniers in the most powerful positions on the planet, reading this book is essential. It informs and inspires the actions that we all need to take to protect ourselves and our homes. Read it, and after you've wept, act. — Emma Thompson, Actor
Naomi Klein, delivering the Edward Said lecture, links the question of climate with the question of occupation (with Palestine as the focus). Klein points out that those who are 'othered' will be the first victims of the climate catastrophe. This volume collects Naomi Klein's superb essay, along with reactions from important writers who live across the globe. John Bellamy Foster and Ghassan Hage offer direct reflections on Klein's lecture, while other writers are spurred by Klein's insights. Rafia Zakaria takes us to the shoreline of Karachi, Masturah Alatas wonders about hijab and air-conditioning in Malaysia, Shalini Singh meanders through the climate wars in India, and Susan Abulhawa writes from the 'fossil fuel sacrifice zone' at Standing Rock (North Dakota, USA). The book closes with Am
