Artists are those who, throughout universal history, have suffered from the most diverse stereotypes. Men, vagabonds; women, prostitutes; the children, with no future. Un grateful people, easy life, oblivious to work. It is through art, however, that we strongly criticize society and allow debate on important issues. Today, in Brazil, the artistic and cultural class has been emptied by the municipal, state and federal governments in order to disqualify work and the importance of the sector for social development.
