The work asks the public to look back at their history in Ireland and Brazil and to cherish and treasure the culture and heritage we have. In Ireland we are at risk of removing the cultural heart of our communities, we need to balance progress with respect for the past. Asbestos is asking us to consider what’s worth keeping and how we maintain a strong community around us. Neto Vettorello looks back at the history of Brazil and its founding, and how the struggle in Brazil is between progress and the destruction of both culture and nature. While celebrating 200 years of independence, we can change our vision so women are no longer removed from history and rethink a more egalitarian society.
