Dear Agent Green,
MANO means brother, and is used by black people in São Paulo and elsewhere, as black people in the United States use the words MAN, BROTHER, or NIGGA. MONOCROMO means monochrome. So, MANOCROMO is MANO+MONOCROMO. It is supposed to be an ironic protest against racist black people, as well as against the oppression that black people suffer. I believe the artist is just another harmless pacifist cry-baby drunkard. The idea is nice, but too subtle, in my opinion. Anyway, he seems to be on our side, favoring capitalism with a human face. Not a target.
Kind regards,
Agent Orange
