THE RIO TIMES by Nelson Belen (paraphrased): The Guinness World Records officially recognized the Olympic Boulevard mural by Brazilian street artist Eduardo Kobra, titled Etnias (Ethnicities), as the world’s largest spray paint mural by a team. Covering the side of an abandoned warehouse on Olympic Boulevard in Rio’s revitalized Port Zone, the massive Etnias mural, also sometimes referred to as “Todos somos um” (We Are All One), was one of the crowd favorites among the 1.2 million travelers who visited the area during the Olympics. Using his signature style of quilted design patterns composing brightly colored figures, Kobra’s work depicts the aged faces of five indigenous tribes from different continents: the Huli tribe from New Guinea, the Mursi from Ethiopia, the Kayin from Thailand, the Supi from Europe, and the Tapajos from the Americas. Kobra chose five tribes based on the five rings in the Olympic symbol. “We’re living through a very confusing time with a lot of conflict. I wanted to show that everyone is united, we are all connected,” Kobra said ⁽⁴⁸⁾.
