Juliana Notari
A giant, 108ft vulva-like sculpture installed on a Brazilian hillside late last year caused controversy across the country and beyond. Diva is the work of visual artist Juliana Notari and is located within the Usina de Arte sculpture park in northeast Brazil.
Some took issue because the sculpture was anatomically incorrect for a vulva after it was widely reported as representing one, although Notari never explicitly said this at any point.
A Facebook post included an image showing Notari posing with the 20 men who had built the piece, which many also took issue with considering that it was intended to be a feminist piece.

The results of the recent municipal elections in Brazil were interpreted in distinct ways by the different actors involved. For some analysts, they clearly signaled a weakness of the 2018 far-right wave and of president Bolsonaro’s ability to successfully endorse candidates.
For others, they indicated a low-risk voting preference: the restricted campaign due to Covid-19 allegedly favored the re-election of mayors and city councilors as well as of candidates affiliated to well-established political parties.
Indeed, the strengthening of several right and center-right parties prompted some to assert the return of the ‘old politics’, or of politics proper, as opposed to the anti-political tendency of the last presidential election.
