Capoeira! Explorations of Resilience and Resistance: Group Exhibit

Welcome to an art exhibit dedicated to exploring Capoeira: an evolving art form that has existed for centuries. Born from the survival strategies of enslaved Africans in Brazil, Capoeira is more than a martial art — it is a living, breathing cultural tradition that weaves together movement, music, ritual, and resistance. Capoeira is a form of self-defense that is disguised as a dance. It is an embodied record of African survival, creativity, and spirit that is intended to teach resilience and freedom. The essence of capoeira strives to transform struggle into expression while strengthening one's mind, body, and spirit. Capoeira builds solidarity, intentionally creates communities, and actively fights against oppressive forces. By engaging with this exhibit, you are entering a conversation with the past and exploring possibilities for the future. Artists will include Sarah Lopez, Tim Cassano, Isaiah Dembroski, and more!
