...Me chamo Neanderthal cinzento, aquele que vaga na cidade a procura de mim mesmo. Raros são os instantes que esbarrei comigo, muito embora seja eu a voz que conversa em plena madrugada e tenta aquebrantar a solidão Não conheço meus limites ou sei lá, tento ultrapassá-los sem dar conta... Sou mescla proletária de uma metrópole , de uma humanidade indecisa e cruel! Mas sou romântico, eu faço serenatas de poemas, pichando nos muros o grafite que resta em minhas madrugadas. Minha religião é a pura e simples musica, esse anjo inédito que me atravessa as emoções... Sou Rock n' Roll, rocha rolando em direção ao apocalipse de mim mesmo. O meu templo é o meu próprio corpo, pois ali e somente ali eu sinto paz. Me sinto confuso, mas não perdido, pois tenho em minha alma a espada a espada de platina e meu sangue quente, a adrenalina me impulsiona, efervescendo como um copo d'água. Não tenho idade, não tenho carro, nem pesadelos, nem verdade, nem mentira, nem país e nem certezas... Eu tenho vida, eu tenho sorrisos Eu tenho liberdade, eu tenho sentimentos. Eu sou eu mesmo! . . ("Neanderthal Cinzento" Originally written August 9, 1984 - Sao Paulo)

Kairosclerosis: The moment you realize that you are happy - and consciously try to enjoy that sensation - that forces your intellect to identify and place the sensation in a context where happiness slowly dissolves into little more than a aftertaste.

Nephila 05:17
Nephila is a genus of spiders. [1] They are often called "weaver spiders" or golden silkweavers, and their species have in the past been classified as part of arachniform groups of similar morphology, such as Araneidae (in particular, within the genus Argiope). These spiders are notable for the sophistication of their webs, which often assume a "three-dimensional" shape.

Asymmetries 10:39
سَفْكُ الأسْفلْت هذه النقاط يتخللها الضباب حمراءُ ، في صمت القوافل و الخزّانات التي تقْطُر و الأرض صدئة و أقساط المجيئ بين المشابك و بين ثقوب القميص نحر الذهابْ .. و ساعةً أرانا نمرّ خلف ظلالنا نتلوّن ، فلا نُنْطق سوى الصمت هكذا يسيل على ألسنتنا و يتبختر حاملا أحجارا تتناثر منها البِقاع آذِنا بأن يُحرق كل ما قلنا و يمتصَّ الشفاه كان قد أومأ بصدره المثقوب .. قد كان ترابا و لم نعبأ قد كان رمادا قد كنّا خواءْ .. قد قال بما يكفي جوعنا و يُتمُّ صلاتنا و قد صمت بما يكفي.. و لازلنا على شفاه الحجر نُواري الستائر و السماء و نئِدُ نعيقَ المطر و لا زالت على الزجاج تقطُرُ الهمهمات.. شيرن خليف . . (Poem "سَفْكُ الأسْفلْت" originally written by Shirin Khlif - Tunisia )

South America is on fire! Neoliberal policies prove to be totally disastrous Protests and injured proletariat take to the streets in confrontation with bourgeois guard dogs. Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, Paraguay and Argentina registered popular demonstrations, political unrest and clashes. End of subsidies, dissolution of congresses, electoral impasse, increase in the price of public transport, coup attempts in the face of crises, increase in poverty ... resulting in an America on fire with people on the streets. This is the ghost that plagues next door, which Brazil is still ignorant of, but which very soon will soon enter the scene.

Grishuvud 07:19
Preto, preto... Pele escura, um rosto um pouco abatido... Também uma puta vida dura Cada dia fica mais difícil porque preto, pobre tá virando maleficio Tá entrando na faculdade e frequentando o mesmo edifício Isso não pode! Porque preto é igual macaco pra racista filha da puta no máximo, tinha que engraxar sapato... Abraçar um preto, filho do rico, onde já se viu isso? Esse sim tem direito a todos os benefícios Não deve nunca! nunca se misturar a esse tipo... E como diria o presidente "Muita calma minha gente, a escravidão foi feita de forma indecente e pelo próprio preto porque o branco português nem pisou no continente" Pera ai... Então foda-se a divida histórica existente ? Pra luta contra isso a gente diz de uma forma suave, bem suavemente... Vai tomar no cú! E para de querer nos matar presidente! Porque o preto vai resistir e persistir Até o fim, dane se o que vem pela frente! Por isso meu preto, segura um a mão do outro e em meio a tanto desgosto, continua olhando pra frente. Porque vai ter um querendo te derrubar, agindo igual serpente. Mas o meu povo é força, é luta e vai vencer dignamente E quando matarem um...Vai nascer mais de mil que vai continuar lutando pela nossa gente Poder para o povo preto!

This track represents the repulsion to live in a country where structural racism exists but prefer to turn a blind eye. The following statement is from AD Junior who currently lives in the city of Hamburg in Germany. The idea is to show the structural racism that is present in our society. How to face? Through education. How to educate? Through lectures and debates. Because where this kind of barbarism happens and there is no punishment of those involved, we realize that things are not working out in this policy of extermination of the poor black people. A brief reflection on modern times where ignorance is a blessing. Carrying flags of dubious representatives, when protectionist politics poses the real lamb-shaped threat and their shrunken fascism takes public verbalization and in the end are all against all. This is the greatest representation of human ignorance: we do not learn from past mistakes, do not question history and justify acts on meritocracy alone, we ignore this institutional racism where the different is wrong, where traditions are confused with archaic moralism and conservatism. No one expects to live to see the world explode. #80Tiros #ADJunior #Obasquiat

About the album "Ignorance is a Bless"

When ignorance prevails, the principles appear to be lost.
The pseudo-ideological conflict is on the agenda, the exploited against the exploited.
Carrying banners of dubious representatives who are not the imaginary superheroes of comics, when protectionist politics represents the real threat in strength of lamb and its fascism enrustido takes public verbalization and in the end are all against all.
This is the greatest representation of human ignorance: we do not learn from the mistakes of the past, we do not question history and justify acts only by meritocracy, we ignore this institutional racism where the different is wrong, where traditions are confused with archaic moralism and conservatism.
No one expects to live to see the world explode!
This album represents a struggle, a verbalization, an artistic and sonorous act, an authentic and true record that shows that the union still makes union independently of the creed, creed, color, ethnicity, race, language or location, this album represents a globalized world and who thinks together, who has affinities and speaks the same language, which is music, art more universal and complete.
This album presupposes that in times of blissful ignorance, it is still possible to dialogue, exchange information and references despite differences.
Not Fascism!
Not to the lack of empathy that in modern times is so exalted!
Poor of those who simply do not think, do not react and only accept what is imposed.
For these, ignorance is a blessing.

"The ignorance is a blessing, the less you know the closer the futile pursuit of happiness you will be, the farther away from wisdom the less anger will suffer as the old words have said." In times of uncertainty and deep cuts, ignorance will provide a modest Ignorance is a blessing because it has not let your mind succumb to thoughts, deprives you of it because if you do not know, there is no pain. Sometimes ignorance is a blessing, but I prefer the curse that wisdom brings "

The work of Alexandra Geschwandtner is a way to success. Her work, however mysteriously peaceful, without irony, commotion, or satire is the bearer of the precious and still underestimated charge that invites man to dialogue, develops his imagination, plans and desires, and pushes him forward. Therefore, every image is so precious.

"What do I try to express in my art-work? Mainly it is my point of view on the world, life, beauty… It is about looking for questions that we can not answer. There are dreams, thoughts, reality and fantasy too.
It is about my interest, about everything what makes me fly, there are stories based on true people lives, interesting situations, beauties and falls. There are animals, plants, things, epochs, regions, culture. Life and our planet are so various and they offer us so many topics which we can hardly work up in our whole life.
There are many confessions about my world how could it work or not work. I go deep into mystery of my fantasy into getting me to know, into small inner discoveries, in days gone outdaten mysterious parts of my mind. The topic of history is visible and I transform it in my pictures into new positions.
The pencil is the tool of my expression, the companion for quick record of my thoughts and visualizations. I use the pencil from my childhood so I prefer it in my art work as well."
