Quilombos Bar
Brand identity for a quilombola bar in Serra do Cipó, Brazil.
A bar rooted in Afro-Brazilian heritage
Art, history and resistance
Quilombos Bar is a cultural quilombola bar in Serra do Cipó, Minas Gerais, with samba, forró and MPB nights and ancestral cooking. The identity draws on the quilombo’s roots in Sierra Leone: the symbol and patterns come from the geometric shapes of gara and kpokpo textiles. I designed the logo, symbol, patterns and colour palette, and applied them to the Da Terra line of cachaça and preserves, staff uniforms, posters and social media.
