Discover more about Etnias - Mural de Graffiti (Estúdio Kobra)

Located on the Orla Pref. Luiz Paulo Conde, in Rio de Janeiro's port area, the Etnias Mural (also known as 'Todos Somos Um' – We Are All One) is a breathtaking work of art created by the renowned Brazilian street artist Eduardo Kobra. Unveiled just before the 2016 Rio Olympics, the mural spans an impressive 3,000 square meters and held the Guinness World Record as the largest graffiti mural ever made by a single artist. Kobra's mural features five faces representing indigenous people from different continents: a Tapajós boy from Brazil (America), a Mursi woman from Ethiopia (Africa), a Kayin woman from Thailand (Asia), a Supi man from Northern Europe, and a Huli man from Papua New Guinea (Oceania). These faces, rendered in Kobra's signature vibrant and kaleidoscopic style, symbolize the Olympic spirit of unity and peace. The artwork promotes a message of harmony and respect among diverse cultures. The mural is part of the Porto Maravilha project, which revitalized Rio's port area into a cultural hub. The area now boasts museums, art installations, and a lively atmosphere, making it a must-visit destination for tourists and locals alike. The Orla Conde waterfront promenade offers stunning views of Guanabara Bay and provides a pedestrian-friendly space to appreciate the art and surrounding architecture. Visiting the Etnias Mural offers not only a visual feast but also an opportunity to reflect on the importance of cultural diversity and global unity. It's a powerful reminder of our shared humanity, expressed through the universal language of art.
