“This is a manifesto of discontent and outrage at the mismanagement, hypocrisy and corruption we face,” says sculptor and ceramist Carlos Oliveira, author of the work, with artistic intervention from the Malibu Ninjas collective.
The “cuff” – a piece of two meters in height and weighing 70 kg, made of alabaster and polyester resin reinforced with fiberglass – is now in the Jardim dos Teixos, in the Belen Palace. The sculptor hopes that the Portuguese will see themselves in the work and “with a creative approach, they will also slap the back of the head to power.”
The sculpture remains where Leonel Moura’s Mario Soares chair was erected in 2021.
