Brazil is currently living a political, social an ethic disorder. A threat to the democracy, human rights and ecology too.
Against the substantial growth of fascist’s ideology many artists started to develop projects prior to understand and highlight whys, whats and how.
How could this ever be possible in Brazil (again)?
Comics are now one of the most relevant voices in the fight for change.
Psicotrópicos Festival brings to this panel three different perspectives of comic artists about Brazil:
- Tine Fetz: German cartoonist who lived in Brazil during an artistic residency
- José Aguiar: recently moved to Leipzig all the way from Curitiba, Brasil
- Clayton Junior: also from Curitiba, Brasil and living in Berlin for over a decade

Psicotrópicos Festival - Panel: Pop vs Populismus
PANEL
POP vs POPULISMUS
SUNDAY l MARCH 22, 2020
Festsaal Kreuzberg - Am Flutgraben 2
Moderator: Lukasz Tomaszewski (Radio Cosmo)
Participants: Oxa / Héloa / Rodrigo da Matta
Has Pop become unpolitical? Quite the opposite, according to author and radio host Lukasz Tomaszewski.
Just like the daily political discourse, Pop and Rap are increasingly shaped by linguistic brutalisation and reactionary positions. Homophobic and sexist lyrics keep finding their way into the charts.
However, more and more musicians worldwide are mobilising against right-wing agitation and exclusion. For WDR COSMO, Tomaszewski portrayed protagonists from Germany, Poland, the USA, Venezuela and Italy.
In Psicotrópicos Festival, he speaks with Jens Balzer and Oxa from Brazil.
How does the liberal music- and cultural scene in Brazil experience the right-wing populist government of Jair Bolsonaro? And what strategies did they adopt in the fight against racism and homophobia?
