From July 27 to 30th, Bino Sousa, Carla Bianca, Bosco, Franart and Oiram were at the Mirante da Orla, a new meeting point in the city of Marabá located in the Francisco Coelho neighborhood, also known as Cabelo Seco. At the site, where the river Tocantins meets the river Araguaia, they painted a work of art of approximately 150 m².

The artists brought the desire to value the local culture and everyday aspects of its history. In the mural, native fauna and flora surround a black boy who represents the African contributions to the social formation of Marabá. The fish carried on the boy´s back allude to fishing and fishers, a traditional profession done by some of the artists’ relatives. The Marajoara ceramics pay homage to the indigenous people of Pará and, at the boy´s feet, children have fun playing games that also marked the childhood of the artists.
Visual artist Fhero coordinated the creation of the work. It reflects a collective process in which the integration of ideas and the respect for the artistic and technical identities of each artist were of paramount importance for putting the work together.
