Capoeira Photo Gallery & Artist Reception

Sat, Sep 24
6:00pm-9:00pm
Free

ABADA-Capoeira San Francisco will display an exhibit of photographs
of capoeira and maculele in a gallery opening and artist reception.
The photographs were taken at ACSF's Spirit of Brazil: Elements of
Sound Performance Concert Series held at Dance Mission Theater in
March 2005. Two local artists, Branden Johannesen and Lynnly
Labovitz, donated their work for the exhibit. The artists have given
a unique gift to the community, as it is rare to have the opportunity
to see professional images of capoeira and maculele, even as the art
forms gain popularity. Over 65 photographs will be on display at
ACSF's Brazilian Arts Center.

All photographs will be available for sale to the general public, and
proceeds will benefit The Reaching All Youth (RAY) Project, ACSF's
youth program offering free and reduced price capoeira classes,
performance opportunities, youth leadership opportunities, artist
training, and bi-annual health workshops to youth aged 5-19 from low-
income families. Photos will range in cost from $25-$150.

The reception welcomes the photographers, Mr. Johannesen and Ms.
Labovitz, as well as the ACSF performing artists who performed in
Spirit of Brazil: Elements of Sound. Like the photographers, the
performers donated their work in the show so that all proceeds could
benefit The Reaching All Youth Project. Guests at the Gallery Opening
will be able to meet all the artists and enjoy cocktails and
refreshments.

The photos will continue to be available for purchase following the
gallery reception on ACSF's web site.
