The Oil Stain is Coming
by Guilherme Gontijo Flores
The Stain portrays in a poetic way the greatest environmental disaster ever inflicted on the Brazilian coastline: the huge oil spill spread along Brazilian Northeastern and Southeastern beaches in 2019. The story goes beyond the actual incident to give an alert about any kind of threat to the environment, to citizenship, to democracy, and to life. Impacting illustrations by Daniel Kondo instigate the dialogue between form and content and move the readers.
