BLACK BOX
Faculdade Zumbi dos Palmares
Role ︎︎︎ Conception, Art Direction
This is a project made by the Zumbi dos Palmares College, the only internationally known college in Brazil targeted at black people. In a country as racist as Brazil, we’re daring to tell untold stories. To reinforce the project, we used the map of Quilombo dos Palmares, a huge symbol of resistance to black people in Brazil, to form all images in the book through generative design. We created a code that transforms the map into tiny particles, literally inserting the DNA of Black Brazil’s history into every illustration. Plus, the book includes black boxes in translucent tracing paper, revealing important historical information when the pages are turned over.
Additionally, each chapter of the book became a subject at Zumbi dos Palmares College and was integrated into the syllabus of different college grades.
Finally, the Black Box has been opened.
