Here is the second installment from a recent visit to Inhotim, in the interior of Minas Gerais.  (For the first installment, kindly go here.)

Interestingly, when I asked if most of the hoards of youth who serve as guides and guards are from the local town of Brumadinho, I was told No. After the massive mudslide in 2019 took away an entire community, killing 272, the large mineral multinational, Vale, took responsibility by providing an annual stipend to all town residents. Consequently, very few of the Brumadinho’s youth care to work – with most laborers brought in by bus from nearby townships.  Due to government handouts, I’m told, a similar trend is happening all over Brazil.  [please hover over images for captions]
