We don’t live in boxes

30 de setembro de 2019

by Carlos Henrique Trindade

Chaos. That’s what the world is all about. We spend our whole lives trying to organize what cannot be organized. We want to predict the unpredictable.

Peace in the era of extreme choices

30 de agosto de 2019

by Marcela Cintra

21 de agosto de 2019

by Victor Virginio

You are a student in a classroom full of them. You are all seated in a circle and the teacher is standing in front of you. The teacher asks a question. Silence.
