Filipe Branquinho: The Scandal

The exhibition captures and explores social issues related to the contemporary reality of Mozambique, investigating its folkways, mythology, and urban dynamics. 

AKKA Project Dubai, Warehouse 8, First Al Khail Street, Al Quoz 1, Dubai, UAE

Branquinho is a multi-talented artist. He studied architecture and follows a dual career as a photographer and illustrator. He began to create works that connect tradition and contemporality that toy with a unique touch of humor, creating an incredibly powerful and meaningful contrast.

Filipe uses mapiko masks of the Maconde tradition, associating drawing and photography with a strong sense of satire to reflect the aspects and values ​​of contemporary national affairs. These Mapiko masks can be, traditionally, caricatures of characters of a magical (imaginary) world or real known characters from the community or region.

As an exhibition, it lays bare the socio-political void of Mozambique.
