This exhibition is about the loss of language Rather, the title of this exhibition is about the loss of language When language and meaning have become dissociated When language is no longer language When language has been reduced to an outlet for repressed anger, fear and prejudice The symptom of a sick society The opposite of culture Because there is no culture without language This is why I have opted for a non-title A hashtag Until language is made possible again

#elenão #nothim

The hashtag #elenão emerged in recent months as a response to the rise of far-right candidate Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil's 2018 presidential polls. The 'Trump of the Tropics' won 46 percent of the vote during the first round of elections on Sunday, falling just shy of winning outright. He will face the Worker's Party (PT) candidate Fernando Haddad — who took just 29 percent of the vote — in a runoff on October 28.

The 63-year-old has made offensive statements on issues ranging from abortion, race, migration and homosexuality to gun laws, and has suggested that the country should return to the hardline law-and-order tactics of the 1964-1985 military dictatorship. In 2016, when members of Congress voted to impeach the then-president, Dilma Rousseff, Mr Bolsonaro dedicated his vote to late Colonel Alberto Brilhante Ustra, a highly controversial figure who was accused of torturing prisoners under Brazil's military rule. He has repeatedly mocked women as idiots and as tramps, as unworthy of rape, let alone equal pay. Bolsonaro has also made common cause with evangelical Christians, who support eliminating legal abortion and gay rights.
