This piece depicts a crowd of animals protesting the growing agitation against Covid-19 lockdowns in the United Kingdom. Lead by a monkey yelling through a megaphone, a rhinoceros holds a sign that says "Long Live the Lockdown!," while a polar bear carries a sign that says "Keep the Humans Locked Up!". A tiger stands in the center, showing off a sign that says "Bats Rule!" referencing the theory that the coronavirus developed through people eating bats.

domestic violence; patriarchy; quarantine
A series of panels on a wall addressing the theme of violence against women (VbG or Violência baseado no género), with some portions addressing quarantine/Covid-19. In this large mural, people join together in a protest carrying signs. Pertinent to Covid-19, one figure holds a sign reading "Quarentena não é desculpa para a violação dos direitos da MULHER!" (Quarantine is not an excuse for violating the rights of women). Another figure holds a sign reading "O machismo mata + que a COVID-19" (Machismo kills more than Covid-19)
