As the 2014 FIFA World Cup is starting in Brazil from tomorrow, 12 June I want to present you some of the street art that shows the paradox of organization the championships in that country.
According
to a document released by the popular movement ‘People's Committee of the World
Cup and Olympic Games in Rio de
Janeiro', the preparations for the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games in
Rio de Janeiro will displace more than 7,185 families from their homes to make
way for new sports facilities, bus routes and improvements in tourism
infrastructure.
Graffiti
depicting Fuleco, the World Cup mascot, and a pig.
And the last one, the most famous and which shows
problems in the most convincing way.
Graffiti by Brazilian street artist
Paulo Ito depicting a starving child with nothing to eat but a football.
