a vida rasa or FILOSOFIALAMENTO / Xuxu Kamei

Present­ing Delmiro Gou­veia, Água Branca and Sal­vador. The north­east of Brazil is a thriv­ing com­munity fight­ing against all odds. Filo­sofia and Xuxu invite Maité for a unique jour­ney into a new ima­gin­ari­um of skate­board­ing, where life and art are one, and every per­son is a uni­verse blos­som­ing in warm yel­low and deep blue.

From the ocean in Sal­vador, to the blessed waters of Velho Chico, one of the main veins of Abya Yala, the São Fran­ciso river.

A cel­eb­ra­tion of life, not shal­low as the dir­ect trans­la­tion would sug­gest, but light in touch and bright in taste. Where waters pose no threat, no enemy.
