Afro Fado

Afro Fado — Memory across the Atlantic

Born from O Gringo’s encounters in the Republic of the Congo, Afro Fado brings African presence into conversation with Portuguese saudade. Portraits, gestures and layered materials explore the ways memory is carried, protected and passed on.

Through his hybrid mixed-media practice, the artist gives form to a dialogue between identity, distance and belonging. The Atlantic becomes both a separation and a space of connection.
