Artist Blindfolds Statues in Brazil
巴西现蒙眼雕塑
A Brazilian artist is staging a silent, peaceful protest by placing red blindfolds on prominent statues all over Rio de Janeiro. The artist, who prefers to remain anonymous, is trying to bring attention to a corruption scandal that connects former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to a bribery scheme with a state-owned oil company. Anti-government protests have broken out across Brazil with protesters calling for Lula’s successor, President Dilma Rousseff, to resign. Protesters feel that Rousseff's election win in 2014 was financed by dirty money from the scandal. The artist claims that the silent protest contrasts those who are unable to bring change to Brazil with those who can. The hiding of the eyes suggests that historic Brazilian figures would be ashamed of the present-day corruption.
某巴西艺术家发起“和平抗议”，里约多处著名雕像用红丝带蒙住眼睛。因前总统达席尔瓦陷petrobras贪污丑闻，此举旨在唤醒公民意识。巴西全国爆发反政府游行，要求现任总统迪尔玛·罗塞夫辞职。称罗塞夫利用贪污赃款助资2014总统竞选。该艺术家表示称，通过“和平抗议”，巴西“无能者”与“变革者”形成了鲜明对比。通过蒙眼，历代伟人将对当今腐败感到可耻。
