Laura Lima's Wheelchairs

So, the Brazilians have taken over London; or at least part of it. Never missing a chance to soak up art and culture, we went over to Somerset House’s Casa Brasil this weekend. Running for seven weeks and in tandem with the Rio Occupation, the exhibition ‘From the Margin to the Edge’ is a celebration of Brazil’s most prominent artists and directors as the country prepares to host the 2016 Olympics.

There were some really interesting pieces. However, we felt compelled to share this most relevant of artworks on display in the artists’ exhibition.
