The artist was confronted with the city of Senador Pompeu. Here he presents his first impressions but also his answers.
The city is easy to navigate and a simple, nearby shopping town for the surrounding area.
The heat is noticeable. Is there not enough shade? Are there not enough trees of different types? Or is everything simply covered with buildings and asphalt? Help! Where is the nearest shade? Senador Pompeu has 25,000 inhabitants.
The name of the city is noticeable: Senador Pompeu really was a politician. However, the place used to have the indigenous name Humaitá.
Quixeramobim,Quixada and Banabujú are indigenous names.
Economically, the city had its heyday with cotton until the end of the 1960s. The cotton boll weevil put an end to monoculture.
As a visitor from another world, the artist Waury de Albuquerque is actually just an adventure in a foreign country in this original world (without tourism). |
