The work depicts former president Lula speaking on the platform set up in the courtyard of the ABC Metalworkers Union before his arrest in 2018, in the city of São Bernardo do Campo, an emblematic space of struggle for the return of democracy in Brazil at the end of the military regime. Framed by a television, the image highlights the levels of mediation between the audience and the themed political event. Thus, the painting mobilizes the historical genre in times of fake news, narrative conflicts and contest for hegemony between social media sites and mainstream telecommunication outlets.
