The solo exhibition, On Faith, shows photographs from Macilau’s ongoing Faith series, documenting the practice of animism (the belief that everything has a soul or spirit) within traditional religions in contemporary Mozambique.
One of the leading figures of a new generation of artists from Mozambique, Macilau was recently announced as the winner of the 31st edition of the prestigious Roger Pic Prize for his Faith series.
Macilau specialises in long-term photography projects and series that address the complex realities of human labour and environmental conditions. Macilau started his journey as a photographer in 2003 from the streets of Maputo, becoming professional when he traded his mother's cell phone for his first camera in 2007.
