School of Quilombismo
June 2023
Logo design commissioned by Amal Alhaag, Andre Pitol and the Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW) team, for the roaming programme “The School of Quilombismo”. As well as other graphic design outlets for social media. I designed the logo using typography in combination with illustrative elements extracted from the paintings of Abdias do Nascimento.
The School of Quilombismo is a roaming programme that embodies and resonates with the imaginative, wayward, unorthodox, and self-determined pedagogical and knowledge practices of Africa and its diasporas.
In the spirit of the quilombo educators, nomadic cosmologists, fugitive scientists, and street philosophers, the School of Quilombismo is a programme that takes shape through performances, discussions, workshops, a night school, listening sessions, dance parties, and walks. Each communal gathering is itinerant and sometimes unsettling, informing the next session and fostering spaces for collective (un)learning by appearing (and disappearing) in several non-institutional and public spaces throughout Berlin during the summer of 2023
