**A Bold Mural in São Paulo: Indigenous Voices Against Deforestation**

Using natural materials, a Brazilian artist sends a striking message to Cargill through a massive mural in São Paulo.


In a powerful artistic display, a Brazilian street artist has unveiled a mural meant to urge agricultural giant Cargill to reconsider its environmental impact.



On a vast wall in the bustling urban landscape of São Paulo, Brazilian artist Mundano created a striking mural spanning 15,000 square feet. The mural features an Indigenous leader, Alessandra Korap, poised in a devastated Amazonian landscape and holds a sign demanding that Cargill, a Minnesota-based agriculture powerhouse, remove deforestation-affected crops from its supply chain. This public art project, supported by the environmental nonprofit Stand.Earth, serves as a visual protest against unsustainable farming practices, resonating with both local citizens and visitors.

Mundano, a vocal activist known for his works highlighting social and environmental issues, utilized resources sourced from environmental disasters, including ash from recent fires in the Brazilian rainforest, to create the mural's rich gray tones. This artistic approach not only emphasizes the urgency of the message but also connects the artwork to the broader context of climate change and its consequences for Indigenous communities like that of Korap.

The mural's location was strategically chosen for its visibility to the city’s major traffic routes, ensuring that it captures the attention of thousands daily. As spectators and passers-by interact with the mural, it fosters dialogue about the responsibilities of corporations like Cargill in protecting the environment and supporting Indigenous rights.

Giving voice to marginalized perspectives, this mural represents a significant statement in a world grappling with environmental degradation caused by industrial agriculture. Mundano's work, while aesthetically impressive, is ultimately a call to action aimed at driving change on both local and global fronts as communities continue to advocate for a sustainable future.
