The AHRC-funded project “The Angolan Roots of Capoeira: Transatlantic Links of a Globalised Performing Art” explores the transatlantic links between the Afro-Brazilian martial art capoeira and particular Angolan traditions.

It will not only fill a significant gap in scholarship but also disseminate its outcomes in a documentary and journals available to the wider public.
