How has contemporary Brazilian culture engaged Brazil’s political panorama since 2013? In this presentation, we will examine how Brazilian cultural expression has processed events such as the 2013 protests, the 2016 impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff, and, more recently, the election of Jair Bolsonaro.
