“…Brazil is an ideal case study because of the history of cultural production used to contest power in the country (Calirman 2012;Pelegrini 2015). Art museums in Brazil have been, and continue to be, sites of persuasion where political issues are contested.…”

“…Highlighting the historical significance of culture in Brazil, it is important to emphasise that during the dictatorship, many cultural producers across a range of media (e.g., music, art, theatre and cinema) used innovative approaches to avoid the censors, particularly after Ato Institucional #5 (Institutional Act #5) in 1968. This Act suspended civil and political rights and sanctioned torture against the regime's political opponents (Calirman 2012;Pelegrini 2015).…”

The Art of Violent Protest and Crime Prevention

This article examines violent protest in art museums. There is a long history of art museums being used as sites of protest. As spaces full of meaning, they represent ideal locations for people to try to shape the present and the future. From peaceful demonstrations to terrorist attacks, the current risks of protest to art museums is high. Motivated by ideological, political and social reasons, these protests include those that specifically target art objects within the art museums, as well as others that use the sites as stages on which to protest. This article is based predominantly on secondary sources; however, it also uses empirical research data collected by the author during observation research at art museums in London in March 2017 and July 2017. The article begins by considering why art museums attract so many protests. It argues that as ‘sites of persuasion’, art museums can be battlegrounds on which people look to shape how society is constructed and perceived. It then examines contemporary and historical case studies in Brazil and the UK to help our understanding of violent protests and the challenges they pose to art museums. Following this, the article proposes that as art museums are important sites of persuasion, there must be more awareness of the threats they face from violent protests in order to shape crime prevention approaches. The article finishes by arguing that although protests can be highly problematic for people involved with art museums, the ongoing appeal of these spaces as sites of protest shows the significance of art museums as important locations of cultural meaning.

“…Cultural heritage locations are ‘sites of persuasion’ (Dubin, 2006: 478) and are significant for maintaining, encouraging or restricting the plurality of memories of Brazil’s diverse peoples and, therefore, it is no surprise that they are important sites in concocted culture wars (Dos Santos, 2003, 2005; Kerr, 2018; Schneider and Atencio, 2016). With a long history of cultural production being used to contest or reinforce power in the country (Calirman, 2012; Pelegrini, 2015), Brazil is an ideal case study to examine contested cultural heritage governance and culture wars, and the effects they can have on the protection of cultural heritage. Furthermore, lessons learned from this case study are relevant when considering these issues internationally.…”

Culture wars in Brazil: The far-right and their failure to protect cultural heritage

Far-right politicians in Brazil are attacking and censoring cultural heritage and enacting policies that go far beyond cultural heritage. These politicians are also dismantling the structural frameworks that protect, secure, encourage and enable cultural heritage at a time when it is experiencing serious and systematic crime threats. This is despite legal obligations in the Brazilian Constitution to protect it. In addition, these politicians are missing opportunities in the sector from which they could benefit hugely, as could the Brazilian population and the cultural heritage. Instead of waging ‘culture wars’, politicising security, and failing to adequately protect cultural heritage, a viable alternative is to govern the cultural economy.
