feature: salvador-based photographer tamires allmeida uses artistic representation as a form of protest with afrodivasedivos

May 20, 2016

AFROdivasedivos is a photographic project from Salvador-based artist, Tamires Allmeida. “The project is not only a photo shoot, it is a form of protest. A form of repositioning blackness within our universe.” A quote from poet Jonatas Cesario from whom Allmeida drew inspiration from in creating this representational project. The vastness of AFROdivasedivos is impressive on its own and the images themselves are certainly compelling to look at. They range in style from classic editorial looks, street style, and the more experimental sides of fine art photography. Take a minute to check them out!
