Translation: I'm the Mundano activist and I'm here in the city of São Paulo, together with a team, painting a mural of over 1000 square meters. The mural is all painted with the ashes of the forests. We covered more than 10,000 kilometers, we went to the Amazon, wetlands, savannah and Atlantic forest, collecting these ashes and we made the paint from it, and we are painting a big protest, a protest against deforestation, fires and at the same time a great tribute to the brigadiers who do a fundamental job of fighting the fires. They are invisible heroes and heroines. So this work is a great cry of ash from the gray city. It's still a re-election of the work of the artist Candido Portinari "O Lavrador de Café" and 87 years later I updated the work adding some more elements like a burned scenery, because the way it is, we are burning our forests and we are transforming into ash too.
