EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful print captured by Tasso Marcelo, we witness the convergence of sports and politics during the FIFA World Cup match between Brazil and Chile on June 28,2014. The image depicts a protest taking place in the surroundings of the Fan Fest in Rio de Janeiro. Amidst the excitement and fervor surrounding one of football's biggest tournaments, a group of individuals has chosen to voice their dissent against something larger than just a game. Holding up signs and banners, these protesters are determined to make their voices heard amidst the sea of cheering fans. This photograph serves as a reminder that even in moments of celebration and unity, there are those who seek to draw attention to social issues or express discontent with political situations. It encapsulates the complexity inherent in hosting such an international event – where passion for sport intertwines with broader societal concerns. The composition itself is striking; it captures both movement and stillness simultaneously. The blurred figures marching forward create a sense of urgency while contrasting against the static backdrop of buildings adorned with advertisements for corporate sponsors. Tasso Marcelo's lens not only freezes this moment in time but also invites us to reflect upon how major sporting events can serve as platforms for activism and advocacy. This photograph stands as a testament to people's determination to use any available platform – even amidst joyous occasions like the World Cup –to raise awareness about important causes or demand change from those in power.
