A performance with a naked man at an art museum in Sao Paulo has sparked controversy after a child was allowed to touch the man's body while he lay exposed.
In a video circulating on social networks, a four-year-old girl is seen crawling on the floor around a man who is lying naked on his back in front an audience.
She touches the man's hand, legs and feet while accompanied by her mother who looks on and encourages her participation.
Organizers at the Museum of Modern Art (MAM) have strongly denied that the presentation had any erotic content and stressed the event was handled sensitively in a closed environment.
The protest groups describe the performance as a crime that "incites pedophilia", "eroticism" and "pornography". They add that the show was "disgusting and unacceptable" and put the "child at risk".
The presentation, which happened on Tuesday marked the opening of the 35th Panorama of Brazilian Art at MAM.
