"Book of Rooks ( Livro de Telhas )" (1997) (O) ===== Interactive Installment - videos/photographs

This project was initiated when Carvalho saw a stack of clay tiles and the worker’s process of creating these tiles from the initial shaping stage to the final stage of having to place of the tiles. This process, and labor in specific, was art to Carvalho. The major theme in this installment, which include approximately 3,000 tiles, is the idea of shelter and how there is a loss of shelter with the involvement of wars and natural disasters. The loss and destruction of one’s shelter then leads to a domino effect that leads to deterioration and damage to one’s physical, psychological, and emotional loss of an individual. Carvalho implemented an interactive component which is available in two ways - the interactive website that’s available online and allowing viewers become a tile-maker for this installment. In 2000, this online installment earned Carvalho Creative Capital Foundation individual artist grant. Access to installment can be found at  http://bookofroofs.com/index.cfm

The video installation for this piece featured images of Brazilian children, both dead and alive, and lists all the names and ages of the children that were found dead in Rio de Janeiro in the year 1991.

==== Rape and Intervention (1984) ==== Silkscreen

This piece was created for the Artists Call Against the U.S. Intervention in Central America, which was a nationwide call to protest initiated by artists themselves in 1984.
