Macumba Recipes, 2025
Macumba Recipes is a ritual-based work shaped in collaboration with a medium from an Umbanda temple, where offerings are crafted for four reparatory invocations: ancestral reparation, the reclaiming of epistemic agency, the healing of systemic wounds, and the restoration of land and its prosperity. Rooted in the wisdom of Afro-Brazilian spirituality, the work draws from the syncretic currents of the Orixás and spiritual figures incorporated through colonial contact, and is nourished by indigenous botanical knowledge.
Each offering becomes a gesture of reverence, aligned with the nature of the wish and dedicated to an entity or Orixá whose presence resonates with its intent.
I invite you to recreate this offering and participate in a collective ancestral healing.
