MAB – MUSEO AFRO BRAZIL

Image film for MAB with focus on the educational team.

The brasilian sculptor and museum director Emanuel Araujo created the Museu Afro Brasil in São Paulo initially based on his vast collection of African Art. Now it is the most important institution representing a black cultural identity in brasil. The educational work of the museum is outstanding and I created a film highlighting their work.

Music performed by Mariette Fialho in honour of Emanoel Araujo.

Exposition at Museu Afro Brasil

In 2009 my father and me had a double exhibition at the Museu Afro Brasil which are documented in these two short videos. For Almir this was his favourite show in a museum that he had. Muito obrigado querido Emanoel!

AUTO DE PAIXÃO

Collaboration between Brazilian sculptor Romer De Andrade Lima and choreographer Renata Mattar in front of the MAB (Museo Afro Brasil), São Paulo. Black and White, full of expressive emotion you can not find in Europe. The gentleman handing the candle at the beginning is the amazing sculptor and museums director Emanoel Araujo.

The film is in itself also a research on how films can be viewed. I developed the idea of editing the film for a dancing audience:
the takes are longer and the entire soundtrack and all interviews have continuing music. We have screened it in London and various places in Brasil.
