Alexis Peskine presents ‘Ouro Verde’, the story of a rebirth
This is the story of a death - or rather, a rebirth. Alexis Peskine presents Ouro Verde at the MIRA fair with Filafriques, a new collection rooted in a profoundly transformative episode of his life and in a spiritual awakening closely tied to his Afro-Brazilian origins. Initiated into Candomblé, a tradition deeply anchored in Brazil, the artist marks a rupture in his practice. He recounts this foundational experience — both intimate and artistic — while reflecting on his journey, navigating between identity expression and a renewed sense of activism.
