In 2015, a student uprising occupied over two hundred state schools in São Paulo to protest the state government’s decision to close down several educational institutions. The video features a sequence of photographs of the occupations and protests, which turned state-neglected buildings into spaces of dynamic and powerful interaction. Like a school assignment, the presentation (slides without sound) hints at what we can learn from the revolt by secondary students.
