In 2021, hundreds of thousands of people took over the streets of Brazil in the midst of a pandemic to protest against the Bolsonaro government. Inspired by Joyce Wieland's 1973 film of the same name, Solidarity portrays these manifestations by focusing on the expressiveness of human hands rather than Wieland's feet. Gestures of affection, resistance, protection, joy or repression are revealed in these images made in super 8mm ektachrome. With 2022 being a year of presidential elections in Brazil, with the possibility of ending Bolsonaro's government, these images are an important record of this moment in history.
