This footage was filmed and produced 6 October 2021.

Homage to the 38 thousand killed by Covid-19 in São Paulo by the City of São Paulo, through the Municipal Department of Culture, promotes a temporary memorial in Praça Roosevelt, made up of 38 thousand pinwheels, representing the lives of São Paulo lost to the disease. The pieces were made by members of the Vai-Vai Samba School, traditional in the Bixiga region, using recycled material purchased from the Recifavela cooperative, in the Vila Prudente region. An art painted over a thousand meters, signed by the artists Negana and Carol Carreiro completes the installation with drawings of hearts.

Translation of the interview:
[4:15-5:21]
– My name is Tiago Cavalcante, I'm 18 years old is the important thing in this act and I also have a connection with the health area, my sister and her husband are nurses and both fought covid19 and generated a bit of revolt in them because the cases they were seen as numbers, and when she was there they saw the places full and people fighting for oxygen and even having to choose who will live or not. So I think it's important to have a physical representation of the amount, it's not because it's not the same and you also look and see that it's not 1% of what the pandemic is. This act is important. This is to understand that this is not a passing thing, but that it marked the world and will be remembered forever.
