CAROL MELO

Fotografia, arte digital e estampas inspiradas pela memória, ancestralidade e cultura dos povos de terreiro.

CAROL MELO
Photography, digital art, and personal collections developed from research.
Here you will find documentary series, drawings, prints, editorial projects, and the unfolding of these images into objects and publications.


Meu trabalho nasce do encontro entre fotografia, pesquisa visual e cultura popular. Ao longo dos anos documentei manifestações culturais, povos de terreiro, festas populares e memórias coletivas.
Mais recentemente, essa pesquisa passou a ocupar também o campo das estampas e da arte digital, transformando símbolos, cores e narrativas em objetos que podem circular no cotidiano.

Photographing a stage is complex because it's not just about being prepared for the moment of the show; it's about anticipating the moment and thinking about the post-show phase, that is, the editing [processing].
