Once a radical pro-worker and anti-dictatorship leader in the 1970s and 1980s, he gained a reputation as a conservative while serving as archbishop of São Paulo in the 1990s and 2000s and ended his life as a major champion of the Amazonian church. One way or another, Hummes was a central figure of Brazilian Catholicism for almost five decades. Born in a German-Brazilian family in 1934 in a small city in Rio Grande do Sul State in the southern part of Brazil, Hummes became a Franciscan friar in 1956 and was ordained a priest two years later. He obtained a PhD in Philosophy from the Pontifical Athenaeum Antonianum in Rome in 1962, and worked as a philosophy professor for several years. In 1975, he was consecrated a bishop and headed the Diocese of Santo André, in the metropolitan area of São Paulo. Along with the neighboring cities of São Bernardo do Campo, São Caetano do Sul, and Diadema, Santo André formed the so-called ABCD, the epicenter of a new wave of industrialization in Brazil that began in the 1960s, when the automotive industry was drawing hundreds of thousands of migrants from other parts of the country every year. At that time, the South American nation was ruled by a military junta, and labor unions were monitored by the police. The low salaries and long overtime hours that were common in most factories, along with the poor living conditions of most laborers, led the metal workers’ union to organize the first mass strike in several years in 1978. “Hummes had not had any previous contact with the industry workers’ reality, but he had the sensibility to understand them,” said Fernando Altemeyer Jr., a religious studies professor at the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo. Formerly a priest, Altemeyer had been in touch with Hummes since the 1980s and was his spokesperson in the Archdiocese of São Paulo for four years. During a second strike in 1979, when almost 200,000 workers joined the movement, the military regime took control of the unions. Hummes decided to open the diocese’s parishes to the union leaders’ activities. He also organized relief aid for the workers’ families using parish structures, and attended massive union rallies. The major union leader of that time – and later president of Brazil –  Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva released a statement lamenting Hummes’ death, recalling that he “challenged the dictatorship by opening the doors of the Diocese of Santo André to the workers, protecting them from repression.” “Archbishop Cláudio Hummes never distanced himself from Christ’s teachings. His unconditional love for the people has always led him to be near the poor, even in the most adverse circumstances,” Lula da Silva said. Altemeyer recalled that during a meeting with heads of the ABCD companies – many of them were international organizations like Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen – one told Hummes that he should mediate the discussion between workers and companies. “[Hummes] answered that he could not be on the fence in a dispute between businessmen and the oppressed,” he told Crux. In 1996, Hummes was appointed as the Archbishop of Fortaleza, and two years later he replaced Cardinal Paulo Evaristo Arns – one of the major opponents of the military regime and a famously progressive member of the hierarchy – as Archbishop of São Paulo. There, his work would not resemble his radical years in Santo André. “The Holy See asked him to ‘correct’ the way Arns directed the Archdiocese, reducing its political perspective. He fulfilled such a task,” Altemeyer said. Bishop Mauro Morelli, bishop emeritus of Duque de Caxias and formerly an auxiliary bishop of São Paulo, also said that Hummes, at that point, took a different direction. “We tried to motivate him to take part in a project to transform the Archdiocese of São Paulo in nine autonomous dioceses. But history followed its route and distanced us more and more: I kept looking for the peripheries, and he was going to the center of the ecclesiastical power,” Morelli, who had co-celebrated Hummes’ episcopal ordination, told Crux. But not everything had changed. When Morelli, a longtime human rights advocate and a progressive bishop who had difficult relations with Rome, suffered a car accident in 2003, Hummes visited him. “After thinking about resigning, I asked him about the possibility of being his auxiliary bishop. He told me that I would be invited to live in the archdiocese and that I would never need to ask anybody’s permission to conduct a work dedicated to basic human rights,” he recalled. “The presence of a brother in a moment of great suffering becomes a mark in our memory,” the bishop added. In 2006, when Pope Benedict XVI appointed Hummes as the prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy, he gave an interview to a Brazilian newspaper noting that celibacy was not a matter of dogma but a disciplinary norm and that it was possible to discuss the ordination of married men. His statement sparked some controversy in different Catholic circles, and he later had to clarify that the subject was not on the church’s agenda. He returned to Brazil in 2010 and one year later he became the president of the bishops’ conference’s Amazon’s Episcopal Commission, entering the final phase of his ministry. “He became the most important defender of the Amazon, a giant – that same giant that we had seen in Santo André,” said Altemeyer. In his new position, he would travel all over the rainforest. “He visited more than 30 dioceses in the Brazilian Amazon and went to almost all the countries of the Pan-Amazon region,” said Sister Maria Irene Lopes, executive director of the Pan-Amazon Ecclesial Network, who traveled with him on several occasions. “Those were not smooth trips. Many times, we would ride old trucks on dirt roads and spend the night at a simple house. He never complained about anything. He was always happy,” Lopes recalled. Hummes continually emphasized the need to listen to the Amazonian peoples – Indigenous groups, small farmers, and members of quilombola communities (formed by slaves who fled captivity when slavery was legal in Brazil, from 1500-1888). “He helped us to rethink the Amazonian church from the peripheries. When he visited the Amazon, he was always with the people. He would sit with Indigenous groups and eat with them,” she said. In May of 2019, Hummes was appointed as the general rapporteur of the Vatican’s Synod for the Pan-Amazon region. During the preparation, he raised several controversial topics, including the need to build a local church “with an Amazonian face and also an Indigenous face” instead of “a European church transplanted in the Amazon.” Lopes – and many others – saw Hummes as a bridge between the Amazon and the Vatican. Many times, she said, “he would tell the people that ‘Pope Francis told me to say to you this or that’, so we felt that the whole church was paying attention to the region.” That closeness between the cardinal and the Argentinian pontiff was manifested on different occasions, especially during the 2013 conclave. Once deemed a strong candidate for papacy, Hummes is said to have contributed to Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio’s election. The pope himself told the press after the conclave that he chose the name Francis after Hummes told him “not to forget the poor.” In June of 2020, Hummes was chosen to head the recently created Ecclesial Conference of the Amazon. He left his position at the end of March due to his deteriorating health. “He was a man of God. He always had the right word at the right time,” Lopes said.

Modernist Brazilians plunged into a political and economical crisis marched on the streets—with or against the Olympic torch—and amusingly complained about a fifty-five-degree-Fahrenheit “chilly” winter The level of hostility between right and left has been so high and the changes in politics have happened so fast that I could hardly follow the news on protests scandals and their effects in contemporary art made in Brazil While awaiting my forthcoming trip to the country I kept track of art shows that presented Brazilian artists across the New York area numerous New York art institutions featured Brazilian-born artists they were mostly absent from large museums organized historical exhibitions with intense Brazilian presence: in 2015 MoMA featured Brazilian architecture in “Latin America in Construction” and it organized Lygia Clark’s retrospective “The Abandonment of Art.” The Guggenheim included many contemporary Brazilian artists in “Under the Same Sun,” also in 2014 But if Brazilian artists weren’t seen in large institutions they invaded art galleries and medium-size art spaces across New York The two most impressive exhibitions in which Brazilians occupied center stage were the shows “BASTA!” at the John Jay College’s gallery and landscape architect’s “Roberto Burle Marx: Brazilian Modernist,” at the Jewish Museum 43’ 39.” Still from video/Courtesy of Prometeo Gallery di Ida Pisani “BASTA!” co-curated by Brazilian-born art historian Claudia Calirman depicted in stirring contemporary artworks from all over Latin America Although for Brazilians and neighboring countries the topic needs no introduction many artworks disclosed to the American audience the contradictory dynamics between developing and developed worlds such as the documentary of the performance “Testimonio” (2012) by Guatemalan Aníbal López (1964-2014) a mercenary who López brought from Guatemala answering questions from an audience of mostly white European participants at dOCUMENTA 13 in Germany probably breaking one or two international laws “BASTA!” also featured carioca Alice Miceli’s series of photographs “In Depth (landmines)/Colombian Series” (2015) in which the artist had access to land-mine fields in Colombia taking calculated risks to capture those images Paulista Marcelo Cidade displayed his series “A___________ social” [The social ___________]” (2015)—pixelated black-and-white photographs of failed home-intrusion attempts borrowed from the Internet In Depth (landmines)/Colombian Series 1 (2015) Pigment print on Baryta paper 73.7 x 110 cm Photo by Alice Miceli/Courtesy of the artist and Galeria Nara Roesler Whereas “BASTA!” exposed contradictions ubiquitous across Latin America emphasizing multiple “realities” related to violence “Roberto Burle Marx: Brazilian Modernist,” his first major retrospective in the U.S. The exhibit occupied two rooms of the museum’s ground floor and showcased about 140 works ranging from original Burle Marx landscape designs to figurative portraits and a nearly ninety-foot-long wool tapestry which travelled from Santo André the exhibition could well have been expanded to an entire floor which would have given space for more information about the architect’s process curators succeeded in magnifying Burle Marx’s modernist ingenuity beyond his practice as a landscape designer without losing sight of his inspiring forms and visions for nature in Brazil Installation view of Roberto Burle Marx: Brazilian Modernist a puzzling video by artist Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster filmed at the Copacabana seashore pedestrian areas—one of Burle Marx’s most iconic projects—brought me down to earth It was shot during 2000’s New Year’s Eve party when thousands gather on the Copacabana beach to see one of the largest fireworks spectacles in the world Gonzalez-Foerster filmed the event from above conveying a creepy atmosphere: instead of letting viewers grasp the beauty of Rio de Janeiro and the joy of the actual celebration Funny testimonies from Burle Marx’s acquaintances are heard in the background emphasizing contradictions about life and urbanism in Rio de Janeiro The video left me wondering how it would have been to see an exhibition that investigated the paradoxical legacies of Brazilian modernism That’s How it is” (2010) and “Untitled” (2008) “Everything You Are I am Not: Latin American Contemporary Art from the Tiroche DeLeon Collection.” MANA Glass Gallery Courtesy: MANA Contemporary/Photo: John Berens and it was in a private institution that art enthusiasts could find the highest number of Brazilian artists’ works per square foot even though one had to cross the Hudson River “Everything You Are I am Not: Latin American Contemporary Art from the Tiroche DeLeon Collection,” at the huge MANA Contemporary complex in Jersey City showed mostly installation art from sixty Latin American artists Ten different “zones” divided a 50,000-square foot high-ceiling gallery in which artworks were mostly grouped by aesthetic likeness Famous pieces by fifteen Brazilians made the visit worthwhile: among them Vik Muniz’s “Pictures of Garbage” (2008-11) and two appropriated Volkswagens; one that Paulo Nazareth filled with real bananas in “Banana Market/Art Market” (2011) and the other a now legendary graffiti-styled Beetle with a huge wooden head hovering above it Other Brazilians included were Artur Lescher Installation view of the show “Human Ecology”/Photo: Adam Reich – Galeria Nara Roesler Newly opened gallery spaces added to the Brazilian invasion

“Human Ecology,” which focused on a utopian Brazilian Lucia Koch displayed her series “Air Temperature” (2016) in which she digitally reproduces the colors of sunsets she has seen across the world Koch prints her sunset archive over silk curtains creating material idealizations of natural phenomena Argentinian Eduardo Navarro showed props for “Instructions from the Sky” (2016) in which performers use mirrored-discs and helmets walking outdoors: their movements are based on “instructions” they receive from clouds seen reflected on the discs Also included in the show was British Isaac Julian’s“Stones Against Diamonds (Ice Cave)” (2015) a hypnotizing portrait-format video placed over a concrete cube making reference to Italo-Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi’s famous glass and concrete easels created in 1968 specially for the São Paulo Museum of Art an enigmatic black woman visits stunning and deserted snowy landscapes and caves that look like in-between artificial and natural; Bo Bardi’s architecture also appears in the film perhaps alluding to a dystopian legacy of modernism “Threaded,” School of Visual Arts’ Flatiron Space/Photo: Leandro Viana Solo shows in art galleries and art residencies brought well-known and young emerging Brazilian-born artists to the forefront—and mostly women Adriana Varejão with commended “Kindred Spirits,” and Sandra Cinto with “Two Forces,” respectively at Lehman Maupin and Tanya Bonakdar galleries reaffirmed these artists’ continuous appeal to a New York audience In addition to the Burle Marx retrospective the Jewish Museum commissioned a ceiling installation by Beatriz Milhazes for its lobby Anna Bella Geiger’s and Elizabeth Jobim’s works appeared in “Imagining Spaces,” at Henrique Faria gallery Quaresma showed her clever series of mixed media photographs “Ninhos” (2015-16) in the show “Threaded” at the School of Visual Arts’ Flatiron Space; Prado installed his exquisite mirrored watchtower-trees “Measure of

2007 bathing at the Fonte da Misericórdia—said to be a mythical fountain for orixás of Afro-Brazilian religions—and introducing other members of her poor community to the artist viewers learn that Simone reclaimed her male identity welcomed into a church community that helped him “cleanse” his “stained” past The video doesn’t represent exact timelines letting viewers make acquaintance with Sérgio and Simone “Sérgio Simone” also depicts the ephemerality of Brazilian spirituality which has recently become stage for a political battlefield fuelled by rising conservatism coming from dominant evangelical parties Seeing Brazilian art abroad offers me moments of reconciliation but it also keeps alive an instigating clash in my mind The thirty-five Brazilian artists whose works I’ve seen this summer probably helped reshape the image many Americans have of Brazil: these works exposed the fluidity of the Brazilian culture offering alternative realities to images disseminated by mass media when an American presidential nominee preaches a fenced country and right-wing intolerance spreads throughout Brazilian society that embraces diversity and in-betweenness: antidotes against pervasive “Roberto Burle Marx: Brazilian Modernist” Through September 18 the exhibition takes the canonical genre of landscape as its protagonist reimagined to highlight a pre-colonial view of nature as a site of coexistence—between human and animal It is evident that art as a form of combat against oppression was something Sérgio Ferro learned from his beloved Michelangelo Forty seminal works in

country has lost almost 100,000 more lives It was midway through February when André Machado realized Brazil’s coronavirus catastrophe was racing into a bewildering and remorseless new phase. “The floodgates opened and the water came gushing out,” recalled the infectious disease specialist from the Our Lady of the Conception hospital in Porto Alegre, one of the largest cities in southern Brazil. like health centres up and down the country gasping patients – many of them previously healthy and bafflingly young Among the recent admissions was a heavily pregnant 37-year-old who was brought in complaining of breathing difficulties and a cough Doctors performed an emergency C-section to deliver the baby in a desperate bid to take the pressure off the expectant mother’s Covid-racked lungs “We’re trying to help people but this disease is much faster and more aggressive than the tactics we’ve been using,” Machado said of his team’s efforts to keep pace with a tripling of admissions “It’s like we’re flogging a dead horse,” he said, before adding: “This disease is going to kill many more people in Brazil.” At the end of last year Brazil’s president, Jair Bolsonaro – a Donald Trump-worshiping populist who has gleefully sabotaged Covid containment efforts – declared his country had reached “the tail end” of what was already one of the world’s worst outbreaks Three months later Latin America’s largest nation has lost almost 100,000 more lives – taking its total death toll to more than 275,000 second only to the US – and been plunged into the deadliest chapter of its 13-month epidemic “This country is in a state of utter tumult and confusion because there’s no government I’ll repeat that: this country has no government,” Lula declared blaming Bolsonaro’s “uncivilised” leadership and rejection of science for the scale of Brazil’s disaster so many lives could have been saved,” Lula claimed warning: “Covid is taking over the country.” frontline health workers from Porto Alegre to Recife despair and exhaustion as intensive care units and cemeteries fill up like never before Workers bury a person who died with Covid in Manaus Photograph: Raphael Alves/EPA“It feels like we’re putting a Band-Aid on a bullet wound,” said Eduarda Santa Rosa Barata a 31-year-old infectologist who works in three ICUs in the north-eastern capital of Pernambuco state “We’re engaged in damage reduction … You open new beds and they fill up immediately.” Barata had admitted a 37-year-old man who had no underlying medical conditions but whose lungs were so badly damaged he needed intubation But the doctor suspected a third, more troubling element was also at work: an enigmatic and apparently more contagious variant called P1 that is thought to have emerged in the Amazon region in late 2020 but is now circulating across Brazil including in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul People walk in a shopping center in São Paulo Photograph: Cris Faga/NurPhoto/Rex/Shutterstock“This isn’t just theoretical It’s something we’re seeing in practice,” Machado said of the variant at least 10 cases of which have been detected in the UK and 15 in the US you’d get a family and one member would be infected but not the other three or four members even though they lived in the same environment everyone ends up getting infected by the virus,” he said “It’s obvious that this new variant is now circulating among us.” Just how much of Brazil’s current crisis is down to the new variant or other variants traced to the UK and South Africa Some experts believe the variant has provided a convenient smokescreen for political leaders who have failed to rein in a disease President Bolsonaro has dismissed as a “little flu” As he ordered a two-week emergency shutdown in Brazil’s most populous state on Thursday claimed the variant played a key role in pushing hospitals to the brink “This new strain of the virus is very aggressive and very dangerous,” Doria warned claiming Brazil was “collapsing” under the weight of the surge in cases an epidemiologist from the Amazon city of Manaus where hospitals recently ran out of oxygen as a result of the explosion of infections was unconvinced mutations were the main culprit it’s much easier to place the blame on the variant But we all know that the worst variant of all is the way the epidemic has been mishandled,” he said Orellana suspected that having failed to halt coronavirus with unpopular and economically painful lockdowns politicians at all levels of government were now “using the variant as a crutch to prop themselves up and to justify their mistakes and their negligence over the epidemic” “Here in the hospital we’ve got a 20-year-old woman in our ICU in serious condition. Today you have serious patients in ICU from all age groups. Before we’d say it was almost 90% elderly. Today they’re still the majority, but not in same way,” Boulos added. “We don’t yet know how this works, but it’s what we are seeing … There’s no other reason why young people would suddenly start suffering from a more serious disease.” São Paulo’s health secretary, Jean Gorinchteyn, this week told reporters that in many of that state’s ICUs half of patients were now under 50. “I’m talking about 26 and 29 and 30-year-olds – often in a very grave condition,” he said, urging citizens to avoid crowds and remain at home. “We all need to understand that what is happening right now is a different pandemic from the one we saw last year,” Gorinchteyn claimed.

CoronaVac vaccine in February she admitted feeling more fearful now than during the previous peak last June “It feels like every day the virus draws nearer … Everywhere you look around you you can say there’s someone who has symptoms or in hospital … The mother-in-law of one of my colleagues is in critical condition in intensive care,” she said role new variants were playing in Brazil’s latest misfortune but whatever – or whoever – was responsible she feared the human tragedy was far from over: “It feels like the disease is laying siege to us closing in and infecting everyone who hasn’t yet caught it.” Machado said that after the delivery of her 36-week-old baby the expectant mother and her child were rushed to intensive care “We don’t know if she’ll make it,” he admitted last week as the hospital’s Covid-19 wards reached the brink of collapse and fears grew over the global impact of Brazil’s unchecked epidemic leaving five orphaned children and a country in disarray This is the

It later emerged that her husband Gildelio Alves do Santos, the building's concierge, had watched her last moments on his security monitor. The footage, which emerged in local media on October 9, shows Adriana getting into the elevator at the Santo Andre Building on the fifth floor. As it goes up two floors, two men enter and the lift starts to go down again. But when it returns to the fifth floor it suddenly went into free-fall, plunging to the ground floor at high speed. Terrified Adriana lifts her hands in the air but moments later she disappears in a cloud of smoke, dust and debris while the lift hits the ground at tremendous speed as the clip ends. The shocking accident happened more than two months ago but an investigation into Adriana's death has barely begun, according to local media reports. Husband Gildelio said: 'I watched the monitor screen and saw my wife going up and everything was normal. He added: 'My heart is broken. I have to find the strength to work and to get on with life because I have to work.' Adriana was rushed to hospital with multiple injuries but died a week later on 13th August. The two men in the lift, aged 63 and 27, survived the fall and were allowed home after hospital treatment. Adriana and Gildelio had been childhood sweethearts but only married when they met again after 28 years apart. He added: 'We met again and had the chance to live this childhood love for six years.' It emerged in local media that the lift is the same one that was installed when the apartment block was built 60 years ago. Sao Paulo Department of Public Security said the case is investigated as a suspicious death and bodily injury. A spokesperson said: 'We are seeking evidence and listening to witnesses in order to clarify the facts,.' The apartment block's contract engineers Atlas Schindler would only say it is assisting the police investigation and had urged the building's owners to upgrade the lift.
