A Galinha D’Angola é aquela que protege o cajú

Inspired by the guinea fowl-an African bird brought to Brazil—this creature functions as a symbol of protection and resistance. Its body, marked by white spots evoking symbolic contamination, becomes a living shield: it assumes residue as ornament and guards the ripe cashew as an offering.
The environment combines pop surrealism with Afro-Atlantic mythology, and the cashew-a native fruit-links botanical memory and territories of abundance. The work proposes care as a radical gesture: a body that offers itself so the other may flourish.Try it!
