The “Heróis” exhibition, which caused controversy and was censored in the Chamber of Deputies last week, due to a photo of Rogéria, in which she appears dressed in a formal shirt and tie (without pants), returned to the exhibition last Tuesday, the day 20, in a new location, at Espaço Cultural Contemporâneo, also in Brasília.
Historic: After the Chamber's management banned the viewing of the photo (it had been placed in a booth, with a single entrance, leaving it isolated), the exhibition was cancelled.
"This is something of the greatest possible arbitrariness. I received the news with disgust, it is a terrible example for the Brazilian nation. It is gratuitous violence that harks back to the times of the dictatorship", shouted the curator, Karla Osório Netto, to the newspaper Folha de S. Paul.
The reason given by the House was the Child and Adolescent Statute, which, according to Silvia Mergulhão, director of public relations at the Chamber, protects children against "inhumane, violent, terrifying, vexatious or embarrassing treatment".
"Rogéria's photo is more than ten years old, it has even been displayed in public buildings. This is a stain from the dictatorship era", said the photographer.
