Candomblé: Sacred Rhythms in Brazil

“Candomblé : Sacred Rhythms in Brazil” published by our friends of @fleeproject is finally out. The project seeks to honour this tradition by documenting its historical foundations while offering a critical and artistic reflection on its contemporary transformations and future trajectories.

Together with @raio_studio Sometimes Always was in charge of designing the bilingual book that brings together a curated selection of archival documentation alongside newly commissioned texts and artistic contributions by the likes of @cicideoxala @thiagomartinsdemelo @joserbaptista @sonxseed A relevant part of the project floats around the photographical and ethnological work of Pierre Verger.

Through historical research, essays, and visual materials, the project honours Candomblé’s tradition by tracing its foundations while reflecting on its contemporary transformations and future trajectories.
