Kobra "Etnias" Mural

This guide to the Kobra Etnias Mural in Rio follows artist Eduardo Kobra and ten helpers through two months of twelve-hour days painting a collapsing dockside warehouse a decade ago, ahead of the Rio Olympics. You'll hear whose faces he chose, a Huli man from Papua New Guinea, a Mursi woman from Ethiopia, a Kayin woman from Thailand, a Sami man and a Tapajos man from the Amazon, and why he matched them to the five Olympic rings. The guide follows the sheer scale of paint it took to finish, and the message Kobra gave for it.
