Brazilian Cultural Pillars:
This page is a guide to Afro-Brazilian artists, culture makers, events and services in Australia.
About this
Afro-Brazilian culture is behind a lot of what people see as Brazilian: samba circles, braids & hair styles, carnaval, capoeira, baile funk, drums, rhythms & cuisine.
In Australia these cultural elements are sometimes used without naming or hiring the people who created them, so the result is not always true to the culture.
Our collective celebrates and elevates Brazilian culture in all its roots, from Afro-Brazilian to nordestina, gaúcha, mineira, indígenous and other traditions that Brazilians bring to Australia.
This page focuses on making sure authentic Afro-Brazilian voices, businesses and artists are easy to find, credit and book.
