“Em todo o reino português, a arte da ourivesaria estava, em tese, restrita apenas a homens livres, de origem europeia. O contato constante dos artesãos com materiais nobres, amplamente empregados na confecção de obras sacras, era o que justificava, já em Portugal, a proibição da manufatura a pessoas tidas como de sangue impuro–no caso português, especificamente judeus e mouros. Essa linha de pensamento chegou ao Brasil e aqui o ofício foi negado a negros e índios–proibição que, na realidade, nunca foi efetiva, já que a mão de obra escrava era a responsável por grande parte dos trabalhos manuais. [Joias de Crioula, 2011.]”

“I could not help remembering that I myself had uttered to a journalist in 1967, during the dawn of tropicalismo, a sentence that Tom Zé would soon use in a song resonant with the movement: "I am Bahian and I am a foreigner." In fact, we had understood that in order to do what we believed necessary, we had to rid ourselves of Brazil as we knew it. We had to destroy the Brazil of the nationalists, we had to go deeper and pulverize the image of Brazil as being exclusively identified with Rio.”
