Capoeira Mandinga is commissioning Oakland artist Anna Ludwig to create a site-specific, capoeira history installation of three oil paintings and a collaborative youth art project for the Capoeira Mandinga Academy & Brazil Cultural Center in Oakland, California! The goals of this project are to engage with capoeira’s rich history through a visual narrative and actively engage a diverse group of students in a fun, meaningful arts education experience that fosters a sense of community pride.
The installation will include a six-foot by twelve-foot painting symbolizing capoeira’s largely undocumented history, and two smaller portraits in oil of Mestre Bimba and Mestre Pastinha, the widely-recognized fathers of modern capoeira. The installation will also feature rotating exhibitions of collaborative youth art, the first of which will be produced in 2012. For this series of exhibitions, Anna Ludwig will work with Capoeira Mandinga’s diverse group of students, ages six to eighteen, on projects emphasizing capoeira’s oral history, retold through two-dimensional art and performances.
