Coming from Brazil, Capoeira Master, Mestre Roxinho will guide us through an inspiring embodied dialogue about Capoeira Angola and his work at Instituto Cultural Bantu, a popular initiative empowering youth using Capoeira and other African cultural roots as a tool.
In a dialogue between stories and body movement, M. Roxinho will share about the ancestral worldview of Capoeira Angola and the crossing relations of afro-brazilian and indigenous cosmogonies in a practice that is rooted in movement as a way to foster social transformation.
