With the wave of public demonstrations in the city continuing, a normally grey concrete setting was thrown into colour recently when various worker's unions gathered under the Museum of Art Sao Paulo, on Avenida Paulista. MASP, as it's more commonly known, is one of relatively few easily recognisable landmarks in the city due it's unusual architectural design. It stands elevated on 4 structural columns, in this instance allowing various unions (sindicatos) to gather underneath in order to demand various "melhorias", a term for better working conditions.

Indeed, this shot was taken just above the "Jose Robert Fanganiello Melhem" tunnel, a great example of one of the city's authorized graffiti zones. (click on image to enlarge)
