The exhibition took place at the Usina do Gasometro Cultural Space in Porto Alegre, Brazil, a major city hall building. In moments of change and urgency, art provides a possible language to express some of the most difficult issues, proposing themes and approaches that would be too chaotic for any other type of expression.

It provided an overview of revolutionary manifestations in Egypt and Tunisia through 2011 and 2012. These events had the density of a mother wave of transformation with peaceful and secular insurgency, followed by other occurrences around the world.
