Intro Post!💀🦇🕸🕯

Hey there! Figured I'd finally make one of these in case anyone who stumbles on this blog wonders what it's all about.

As it says in my blog description, this is an online space where I can compile and organize imagery, info, and anything else that inspires me related to the novel I'm developing. At least that was the original motivation for making this, but I'm definitely wanting to post some original content surrounding the story and the characters in it soon! This imaginary world has been obsessing me for a few years now, and I'm honestly chomping at the bit to share it with others.

What you'll see on here:

Images related to: gothic lit, the regency period in Europe/Britain, the late 16th/early 17th century, some earlier 18th century, ancient and prehistoric cultures, paganism, the occult, witchcraft, fairies, folklore, the countryside/forests, autumn, Halloween, demons/devils, romantic fashion, screenshots and gifs from films, illustrations/other artists' art that inspires me, and any other random pic that speaks to me or that gives me an idea even vaguely related to the story.

Text posts relating to: all the same subjects above, plus quotes from poetry and literature, other stories that inspire me, and writing advice posts/memes.

Hopefully soon: posts introducing my characters and sharing concept art, ideas, research I've done, who knows what else??

***Content warning for some imagery that may be disturbing (as can be expected, I guess, from a horror aesthetic/theme).***

What the novel's about:

It's [going to be] a gothic/dark fantasy/folk horror/historical fiction novel set in regency Britain and centering around the concept of Halloween and its origins/meaning. Think Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell meets Over the Garden Wall. Kinda. Characters include a bratty aspiring sorcerer, a demonic changeling who wants to be human, a witch, a sin eater, and a handsome devil. Over the course of the plot the question of whether the spirit realm(s) and mortal world should be kept separate will be a source of conflict.

I've had some aspects of this story/characters in my head since I was 14, so it's super special to me!

About me:

I'm an artist, writer, and musician. This is my first time trying to write anything as involved as a novel. I'm having loads of fun with it, though. I love music and reading and history, particularly fashion history, and anything related to the supernatural. The title of my blog is a reference to a song by Echo & the Bunnymen (though I think it's actually an inaccurate lyric :P ).

Ficton books I've been reading lately: Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell by Susanna Clarke, The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón, Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles books, Edgar Allan Poe short stories

Nonfiction books I've been reading: The Devil and All His Works by Dennis Wheatley, Celtic Mythology by Philip Freeman, The Making of Victorian Values by Ben Wilson, Occult Features of Anarchism by Erica Lagalisse, Halloween by Lesley Pratt Bannatyne

Some musical artists I'm into recently: Cranes, Kate Bush, The The, The Smiths, Fiona Apple, Alex G, Caroline Polachek, Imogen Heap, Depeche Mode, Fad Gadget, Pinback, Steeleye Span, The Cleaners From Venus, Suzanne Vega, The Garden, Jessica Pratt

Visual Artists I've been thinking about lately: Edward Gorey, Aubrey Beardsley, Nicole Rodrigues, Francisco de Goya, Leonora Carrington, Brian Froud, Wendy Froud, Willam Blake, Edvard Munch, Harry Clarke

Some of my favorite films: The Witch, Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, The Wicker Man (original), Meshes of the Afternoon, Days of Heaven, The Thief and the Cobbler, The Masque of the Red Death

Champions League final review: ‘It is remarkable that no one lost their life’

by Philip Buckingham

(this article shouldn’t placed behind a paywall, everyone should read this. Especially after Hillsborough how this can happen again. Prepare yourself for a long read)

It was the showpiece evening that brought European football uncomfortably close to tragedy.

The 2022 Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid was meant to be a celebratory night but instead placed thousands of supporters in grave danger outside the Stade de France, near Paris.

“It is remarkable that no one lost their life.”

That was among the most sobering lines of a damning independent review that left European football’s governing body UEFA with nowhere to hide last night. Others, including local authorities and police, could not avoid criticism either, but the Champions League organisers were told the buck must stop with them.

“UEFA, as event owner, bears primary responsibility for failures which almost led to disaster,” concluded an exhaustive review spanning 220 pages, which drew on testimonies from key stakeholders and witnesses, including many fans, although Real Madrid chose not to cooperate.

It also drew comparisons with Hillsborough, saying many Liverpool survivors in the crowd in Paris were survivors of the 1989 disaster in which 97 people died.

“The parallels between Hillsborough 1989 and Paris 2022 are palpable,” said the report. “The similarities include the fact that both events were preventable, and both were caused by the failures of those responsible for public safety.”

Liverpool supporters were absolved of any blame.

Claims following the final had suggested thousands of fans had arrived without tickets to cause overcrowding and delays, but the review found they had been placed in danger owing to poor planning, a lack of communication and outdated policing methods.

The use of tear gas and pepper spray, predominantly on Liverpool fans, was also said to be “completely inappropriate as it was both life-threatening and disproportionate”.

Liverpool said the delayed six-month investigation, funded by UEFA and chaired by the Portuguese politician Tiago Brandao Rodrigues, “fully vindicates” the club’s supporters.

UEFA, meanwhile, said it will continue to analyse the review’s findings ahead of announcing a refund scheme for the affected.

What went wrong before kick-off on May 28?

“All the stakeholders interviewed… have agreed that this situation was a near-miss: a term used when an event almost turns into a mass fatality catastrophe.”

A night that eventually saw Real Madrid lift their 14th Champions League title with a 1-0 win over Liverpool was overshadowed by the traumatic events that unfolded outside the Stade de France ahead of kick-off.

The 80,000-capacity stadium had only been afforded three months to prepare after the original final hosts, Saint Petersburg, had the honour removed following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February of last year. The Stade de France had been considered the safe alternative by UEFA after it had hosted the 2016 European Championship final, but its suitability as the host venue was scrutinised.

The panel, which was made up of experts in policing, a barrister and representatives from fan organisations, concluded: “Two overarching organisational failures (were) at the root of what went so disastrously wrong in Paris.”

The UEFA model for organising the Champions League final was deemed “defective” after control of safety and security was passed on to other stakeholders, while the local authorities were also criticised for favouring a heavy-handed approach, “which was inappropriately based on incorrect assumptions that Liverpool FC supporters posed significant threats to public order”. That, the panel said, was an “inexplicable misconception”.

Concerns were first voiced in the middle of the afternoon, well in advance of the 9pm (local time) kick-off. An external security officer, appointed by UEFA, had told officials that arrangements were “not fit for purpose” at the Additional Security Perimeter entrance 3 (ASP3) that would later welcome Liverpool fans.

That initial ticket checkpoint was considered a known bottleneck, involving a ramp to the concourse where turnstiles were situated. The approaches to ASP3, involving an underpass known for overcrowding, were also considered problematic.

By 6pm, those fears were confirmed with heavy congestion and crushing in the area.

Just before 7pm, the stadium’s control room had accepted the area had become dangerous and asked police to divert fans arriving at the stadium to Additional Security Perimeter entrance 4 (ASP4), a far wider and more accessible point.

Police, though, were “slow to react”. “Thousands of supporters remained corralled in this unsafe environment, unable to progress or escape, as others unwittingly joined them at their rear,” said the report.

Compounding the rising sense of chaos, police and stewards then abandoned ASP3 75 minutes before kick-off. That allowed thousands of fans access to the raised turnstile perimeter, where problems had also been encountered with tickets at the gate. The decision was made for some turnstiles to be closed. “There was a clear and immediate danger of a fatal crush,” said the report.

Why was kick-off delayed?

The review offered a snapshot of the high-level discussions held within the stadium as the distress unfolded beyond perimeter fences. It is said Aleksander Ceferin, UEFA president, headed to a stairwell next to the VIP area to consider a delayed kick-off with senior executives. Ceferin had been meeting with the King of Spain, Felipe VI, and not “in the control room or engaging with commanders”.

Ceferin, whose only interaction with the review was a written statement dated November 23, said he had made the decision to delay kick-off “to make sure all fans will be in the stadium” and ignored the wishes of broadcasters to begin on time. The final would eventually kick off 36 minutes late.

Two messages were then put out on giant screens inside the ground: the first saying delays were down to a “security issue”, the second claiming it was due to the lateness of fans arriving.

Sharon Burkhalter-Lau, UEFA operations director, said the organisation only had access to two pre-prepared messages relating to a delayed kick-off owing to complexities involving translations — but it is made clear in the report that the two cited reasons projected inside the stadium were “objectively untrue” and “a crass error of judgment”.

What happened next?

If one aim of delaying kick-off had been to calm rising tensions outside, it failed to have the desired effect.

Police were criticised for the use of tear gas and pepper spray on “disorderly locals” and Liverpool fans attempting to gain access with valid tickets. The panel said this was “weaponry which has no place at a festival of football”.

Then, in the aftermath, came the finger-pointing. French ministers and UEFA claimed thousands of ticketless Liverpool fans attempting to access the stadium had been to blame. French sports minister Amelie Oudea-Castera said Liverpool supporters had been “let out in the wild”, interior minister Gerald Darmanin said two days afterwards that “industrial-scale fraud” had been noted, with 70 per cent of tickets coming into the Stade de France found to be fake.

No evidence, however, was found to support those assertions at any point of the investigation. Instead, the review rounded on those who attempted to shirk responsibility.

“It has been a feature of our investigations that several key stakeholders have not accepted responsibility for their own failures but have been quick to attribute blame to others. Some have continued to make allegations — in particular against supporters — based upon ‘facts’ for which there is no evidence,” it outlined.

Why did these problems occur?

It was accepted that a number of factors had contributed to the “near miss” of casualties, including the shortened preparation time as hosts, a hybrid model of electronic and paper tickets, a lack of experienced stewards and also the criminality of locals in the vicinity.

Ultimately, though, it was UEFA’s decision to delegate safety and security options to the French Football Federation (FFF) and Paris Prefecture de Police, the local force, that was found to be at the heart of a chaotic event.

“UEFA should have retained a monitoring and oversight role to ensure it all worked,” said the review. “It self-evidently did not… this represented an unacceptable abdication of responsibility by UEFA.”

It was concluded that UEFA had “marginalised” its own Safety and Security (S&S) Unit, headed by Ceferin’s close friend Zeljko Pavlica, thus removing a key mechanism in ensuring the final would go ahead smoothly. “Senior officials at the top of UEFA allowed this to happen,” it said. That resulted in poor communication and the absence of adequate engagement.

The decision to pass on security measures to local authorities and police were found to be deeply flawed. That, the review found, meant that a “model aimed at a non-existent threat from football hooligans” was adopted for the final with damaging consequences.

As far back as late March, long before Liverpool had qualified for the final, local stakeholders had made it clear that thousands of ticketless supporters would travel to Paris in the event of an English club getting that far and that it would be viewed as a threat to public order.

The tone had effectively been set, despite intelligence from the two clubs, Spanish and English police and UEFA that there had been no significant issues of football-related violence in recent years.

A “defective policing model” failed to ensure the safe mobility of fans in the last kilometre leading to the Stade de France; issues that were compounded by the absence of any effective contingency plans.

The panel found that eight factors contributed to the near tragedy. Among them were the poor signposting for Liverpool fans, which ultimately led to the bottleneck at ASP3, defective turnstile arrangements and the criminality of local youths, who were responsible for a large number of muggings and attacks close to the Stade de France.

It was said the police “did not have any effective plan to deal with anti-social behaviour or violence perpetrated by locals” and “stood by” as assaults took place.

Who did the panel think is to blame?

A number of stakeholders, including the FFF and local police, were found to carry “contributory fault” but the panel was clear in placing UEFA “at the wheel” of a disastrous event. The “primary responsibility” belonged to the body that had organised the event.

The delegation of security issues was known to have carried a heavy cost, with UEFA failing to oversee the safety of supporters at its own flagship event. UEFA could not possibly be absolved of responsibility, the report stressed.

“UEFA was central to the organisation of the event and it should have monitored, supervised and assisted with security and safety measures to ensure they were fit for purpose, and to identify and remedy problems before they arose in real-time.”

For all that UEFA’s faults in the event management were laid bare, their reaction before, during and after the final was also studied by the panel.

An initial statement on the night had included a line that problems were in part caused by ticketless locals but, at the request of local police, that was removed before publication. Instead, UEFA focused on the use of fake tickets as the greatest factor in the congestion and crushing. Even on June 8, 11 days after the final, the governing body continued to suggest ticketless fans had contributed to the disorder.

Chief executive of UEFA events Martin Kallen, meanwhile, is said to have given an account of events that was “seriously flawed and contained assertions that were objectively untrue” to an inquiry at the French senate in July. Kallen claimed he had been unaware of similar problems ahead of the 2016 French Cup final between Paris Saint-Germain and Marseilles or at the 2006 Champions League final between Barcelona and Arsenal.

The panel added that UEFA’s evidence was “striking in its orientation to protect itself, rather than to seek to ensure that nothing similar can happen in the future”.

Police methods on the night, both in central Paris and at the Stade de France, were criticised and there was also disappointment voiced by the panel that CCTV footage had not been available.

Footage from all 260 cameras around the Stade de France was auto-deleted about a week after the events. “The Stade de France management did not take any measures to ensure retention and no one else — including the French authorities, UEFA or FFF — asked them to retain the footage,” the panel said.

The review did not apportion any blame to Real Madrid, who won the final thanks to Vinicius Junior’s goal, but unlike Liverpool, the Spanish club declined to assist in the voluntary process. They were the only stakeholder “which declined to assist… for reasons of its own”.

Why was Hillsborough referenced repeatedly in planning for the event?

Ninety-seven people lost their lives attending the 1989 FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest and a long fight for justice is still to see anyone held accountable for those unlawful killings.

Attempts were made by South Yorkshire Police to vilify Liverpool fans after a section of the terrace at the Leppings Lane end at Hillsborough, Sheffield Wednesday’s ground, became overcrowded, with untrue claims of ticketless, drunken supporters forcing entry later disproved.

“The parallels between Hillsborough 1989 and Paris 2022 are palpable,” said the review. “The similarities include the fact both events were preventable, and both were caused by the failures of those responsible for public safety.

“Both events were foreseeable. In the judgment of the panel, the different outcomes were a matter of chance: in one nearly a hundred died, the other none, but through no merit of those in charge.”

The echoes of history were there with authorities and the establishment attempting to shift blame onto those without a voice. The review highlighted that several senior figures have continued to make baseless allegations, particularly against fans, despite the absence of established facts.

The tragic events at Hillsborough had taken place 33 years before the Champions League yet, inexplicably, were mentioned in planning for Liverpool’s trip to the French capital.

The Inter-ministerial Delegate for Major Sporting Events (DIGES) decided the Hillsborough disaster helped design “strong police build-up to maintain order” to counter the potential threat of hooliganism. England’s game against Russia in Euro 2016, a fixture marred by violence in Marseilles, was also cited.

“Absolute outrage. Outrage,” was Liverpool’s response in the review. “They’ve conflated hooliganism with Hillsborough, and we don’t need to revisit that path. It’s such a calamitous error of judgment, it beggars belief. Absolutely beggars belief.

“We’ve reiterated (on) a number of occasions the profile of our football fan is they will come, they will celebrate their team, they will support their team, they will enjoy your city, and they will go home. It can’t be any simpler than that. So, that as planning assumption, it’s absolutely outrageous. That was never challenged at the start and never was it ever discussed with us.”

A “prejudicial misconception” was considered a “remarkable failure” by the Prefecture de Police.

“The Panel has concluded, without hesitation, that referencing Hillsborough with respect to the policing approach was an appalling error, which should not have been made. In addition, this error was amplified by publishing messages blaming ‘late’ supporters for the delayed kick-off, which was not only untrue but was obviously going to offend and traumatise Liverpool FC supporters.

“UEFA senior managers should have understood the way the message would resonate with well-known issues surrounding the Hillsborough disaster and subsequent cover-up. Many survivors from Hillsborough were at the Paris events.”

What happens now?

The independent review concluded with 21 recommendations, saying that public safety at major sporting events is “too important to pass up the opportunity” of learning lessons.

Among those were the directives that UEFA should be directly and more fully involved in the planning of major events — both inside stadiums and their surrounding areas — and insist upon “customer-service stewards” being deployed.

UEFA were told they “must not just move on” from the Paris findings and that travelling fans should never be viewed as an inherent public-order problem. Changing perceptions of supporters and placing them at the heart of plans was also a point pressed home.

UEFA’s own statement in reaction to the review accepted it would “introduce appropriate changes and arrangements to ensure the highest level of safety for fans at future finals”.

Theodore Theodoridis, UEFA General Secretary, was given the task of offering comment, rather than Ceferin.

He said: “UEFA is committed to learning from the events of 28 May and will cooperate closely with supporters’ groups, the finalist clubs, the host associations and local authorities in order to deliver outstanding finals where everyone can enjoy the game in a safe, secure and welcoming environment.”

The report added its concerns that there was an acute need to address the problems outlined ahead of Paris playing host to the rugby union World Cup later this year and the Olympic Games in 2024. The Stade de France is due to host key events at both.

ANTONIA RODRIGUES // SOLDIER

“She was a Portuguese soldier and national heroine. At the age of 12, she was forced to move in with her sister and brother-in-law, and often ran away from their home. Eager to escape, she dressed as a man, cut her hair, and disguised herself and adopted the name of Antonio Rodrigues and joined the crew as a cabin boy. After her arrival at Mazagan in Morocco, she enlisted in the local infantry and acquired skills in weapons handling and achieved command of troops against an invasion of Moors. She made herself noted for her campaigns against the Moors, had a successful military career and was known as “o Terror dos Mouros”. After a female suitor’s father tried to push marriage, Antonia confessed to being female. She went on to marry a colleague and was decorated for service by Philip II of Portugal in 1619.”

One of them, Bartolomeu Português (Portugal, 16?? – Jamaica, 1669) a Portuguese pirate and privateer from the 17th century, was responsible for establishing the first code of rules popularly known as "The Code of Piracy", later used by pirates as John Philips, Edward Low and Bartholomew Roberts.

But many others stood out, such as: António de Faria, Captain Valdemar, João Baptista Rodrigues da Fonte, Moses Cohen Henriques, Mamim, Pedro Cota, Sebastião Gonçalves Tibau, Simão de Andrade, Yacoob Mashaj e Deborah (his wife) and so many others ...

[spurgie-cousin]

What are your thoughts on what might be happening with Philip Rodrigues?

Based on what we know so far, I think one of two things are happening:

1. Phillip is at an age when some mental health issues start to make themselves known, especially for men, and that combined with the emphasis or put on serious religious themes in his childhood (death, hell, demons, damnation, possession, etc), have caused his mental health to decline. And that could be anything from delusions about what he needs to do for God or Jesus, to paranoia, to anxiety/OCD, like it's truly impossible to tell without knowing more.

2. Phillip has started following a new denomination or religious group, or has changed his ideas about religion/how he should live in a way that doesn't line up with what he was taught. Maybe the reason he went to OKC was to follow a new age religious group, or a cult (which honestly, he's a very good candidate for), or something along those lines.

Personally, I'm really hoping it's something like 2, and he's found a mainstream, tolerant, loving church to be a part of that he can find community in. I'm afraid of it being some variation of the first one because I think his parents would blame a mental health issue on demons, democrats, literally anything but what it actually is and he wouldn't be able to get the help he needs.

Pedro Fernandes busca melhoria de rodovias do Vale do Jamari

Em um esforço para garantir o escoamento eficiente da produção agrícola durante a safra atual, o deputado estadual Pedro Fernandes demonstra seu compromisso com o setor agrário e a infraestrutura do Vale do Jamari. Em uma visita ao Departamento de Estradas de Rodagem (DER) em Ariquemes, realizada na sexta-feira (19), o deputado Pedro Fernandes, juntamente com o residente regional Leandro dos Santos Feliciano, discutiram estratégias e apresentaram propostas cruciais para a manutenção e melhoria de estradas que são essenciais não só para a mobilidade, mas também para a economia agrícola da região. As recomendações feitas pelo deputado são oportunas, considerando a safra em curso e a necessidade de vias de transporte confiáveis ​​e seguras. O foco relembra a travessão B-40 Sul em Joelândia, um trecho importante que apoia a comunidade local e o transporte da produção agrícola. A mesma atenção é voltada para a B-40 de Alto Paraíso, que conecta diretamente a cidade de Itapuã do Oeste, facilitando o fluxo de produtos agrícolas e fortalecendo a ligação entre as comunidades. O deputado também enfatizou a importância da RO 205, uma via vital que liga Cujubim a Machadinho D'Oeste, e cuja manutenção é decisiva para o escoamento eficiente da produção agrícola. O deputado Pedro Fernandes expressou a sua gratidão ao governo do estado de Rondônia e, em particular, ao diretor-geral adjunto Philipe Rodrigues Maia Leite, pelo apoio e reconhecimento da importância dessas estradas não apenas como infraestrutura física, mas como veias necessárias para a saúde econômica do Vale do Jamari. O acolhimento das restrições do deputado reflete uma visão compartilhada de desenvolvimento e prosperidade, onde a infraestrutura de qualidade é vista como fundamental para o sucesso do setor agrícola.

Camarote Portela homenageia o enredo “Um Defeito de Cor” com obras inéditas na cenografia

Sete artistas foram convidados para expor seus trabalhos, permitindo que o livro de Ana Maria Gonçalves ganhasse vida com experiências sonoras, visuais e olfativas

A Portela levou para a Marquês de Sapucaí o enredo “Um Defeito de Cor” na madrugada desta terça-feira (13), inspirado no romance histórico de Ana Maria Gonçalves. A homenagem ao livro ultrapassou as grades da avenida e chegou ao Camarote Portela - o único ligado a uma Escola -, que teve sua cenografia construída em torno do enredo. Foram 13 pessoas dedicadas a contar esta história, sendo quatro cenógrafos, dois curadores e sete artistas pretos.

"O livro nos tocou e nos fez modificar totalmente o processo de construção cenográfica. A ideia foi entregar a história a quem pertence a história, ocupando o Camarote por artistas e profissionais pretos que assinaram cada lugar. Mudar o processo foi um passo fundamental para sairmos do raso e entregarmos experiência verdadeira pro público. As paredes cenográficas foram sendo levantadas a medida que esses artistas e profissionais, foram ocupando seus espaços dentro do Camarote, são eles: Pandro Nobã, Nega Fulô, Alma Retinta, Dna Black, Kaoká, Luccas Xaxará, entre outros artistas”, contou a cenógrafa Júlia Paula, diretora criativa do projeto.

O objetivo da equipe foi fazer com que os foliões realmente mergulhassem no livro, transformando as palavras das quase mil páginas em experiências sonoras, visuais e olfativas. Na entrada, as pessoas já eram impactadas pela sonoplastia de Luccas Xaxará, que trouxe sons de atabaques. No primeiro andar, o Camarote Portela instalou 13 obras de Philipe Kaoká, artista que elabora projetos que denotam sua vivência no candomblé, fazendo referência à religião e aos orixás. Uma das obras foi criada exclusivamente em homenagem ao enredo da Portela.

Em parceria com o historiador Jonathan Raymundo e com Nega Fulô, o Camarote procurou por um cheiro que representasse a história de “Um Defeito de Cor”, que virou o cheiro do ambiente. Artes com folhas sagradas, assinadas por Arajany, da Nega Fulô, também compõem a cenografia, que combina paisagismo com religião. No banheiro, por exemplo, é possível encontrar um cheiro de eucalipto junto com símbolos do candomblé, possibilitando um mergulho experimentativo no enredo.

"Esse ano, o Camarote foi além e trouxe artistas que nunca fizeram nada ligado com as escolas. Trazer essa excelência negra é um movimento necessário para que os outros camarotes também tenham essas iniciativas”, afirmou William Reis, que assina a curadoria social do projeto.

O primeiro artista visual a embarcar na proposta foi Pedro Nobã, que pintou à mão livre 90m² de paredes com texturas e objetos simbólicos do enredo. Larissa Chagas, da Alma Retinta, assinou o espaço lounge, onde passam nos televisores colagens digitais de todos os trabalhadores que participaram do processo de construção do Camarote. As colagens representam uma luta contra a dialética da invisibilidade daqueles que estão por trás dos holofotes. Na parede adjacente dos cinco televisores, há uma águia espelhada, símbolo da Portela, assinada por Mário Marcos.

Fegê Rodrigues foi convidada para trançar obras de arte pela primeira vez. Especialista em trançar cabeças, Fegê pode ver seu trabalho eternizado em quadros. No segundo andar, a protagonista de “Um Defeito de Cor”, Kehindé, tem sua história contada de forma cronológica por meio de obras de arte feitas a partir de inteligência artificial, também criadas por Larissa Chagas. Nas obras, são representadas Kehindé criança ainda com sua irmã, Kehindé jovem, Kehindé segurando o filho e Kehindé idosa. Anna Vinhaes acrescentou adereços nas artes, como sementes e turbantes. Com o objetivo de homenagear a ancestralidade preta, a DNA Black confeccionou os turbantes de todos os profissionais pretos que iriam trabalhar no camarote e quisessem usar.

Além da presença de todos os sete artistas, o Camarote Portela contou com a visita da autora de “Um Defeito de Cor”, Ana Maria Gonçalves e pôde conferir de perto o projeto. “O enredo homenageia as mães pretas do Brasil, que é a história que ‘Um Defeito de Cor’ conta. Acho que o verso do samba ‘Nasci quilombo e cresci favela’ diz muito bem o que as mães pretas ainda passam no Brasil. Pra mim é uma grande felicidade que elas possam estar na avenida contando um pouquinho da sua história e fazendo disso a verdadeira história do Brasil. É um acolhimento extremamente carinhoso da Portela”, afirmou a autora.
