Recording of performance by Frente 3 de Fevereiro group featured in the 15th Videobrasil Festival. “Football” is part of the episode that occurred in April 2005 between players Leandro Desábato, of Quilmes, the Argentinian team, and Grafite, of São Paulo F. C. The Argentinian athlete was charged with racism for calling Grafite an “ape” and a “nigger”, and remained in custody for two days. The case migrated from the Sports to the Police pages and led the group to a new round of investigations on racism. In order to collect material for the performance, they made interventions in Brazilian and Argentinian matches, in collaboration with the Grupo de Arte Callejero, an Argentinian group that brings together photographers, visual artists and designers who carry out urban actions. Percussionists and DJs follow the projections in “Football”.
