Barro i Mar
Barro i Mar is a short documentary tracing the rebirth of Terracota, a ceramics atelier in Cabo Verde. What began as destruction became a gathering place, where artisans, neighbors, and the diaspora wove solidarity through clay, memory, and mutual aid. Blending observational footage, archives, and testimony, the film reflects on resilience, cultural continuity, and the right to self-determined recovery in an age of climate crisis.
Small island states like Cabo Verde are on the frontlines of climate crisis, yet sustained by cultural memory and mutual aid. This film shows how heritage becomes a tool for survival, continuity, and renewal. We are gathering personal testimonies, preserving fragile archival materials, and nurturing trust-based collaborations with artists that will carry the project forward.
this film is being produced with filmmaker Yahn De Oliveira
