Reading - The "Etnias" Mural

Read the text and complete the activities below.

When the Olympic Games came to Rio de Janeiro in 2016, the world saw something amazing. The artist Eduardo Kobra created a mural called "Etnias" (Ethnicities). It is 190 meters long and 15 meters high! For a long time, it was the largest mural in the world in the Guinness World Records.

The mural shows five faces. These faces represent five different tribes or ethnic groups from five continents: the Huli (Oceania), the Mursi (Africa), the Kayin (Asia), the Supi (Europe), and the Tapajós (Americas). Kobra wanted to show that "we are all one." He used his famous style: colorful triangles and geometric lines. Today, it is a symbol of Rio's revitalization and a place where thousands of people take selfies every day.
