Espaço Oliveira Mendes returned to Pelican Bay to facilitate classes in Capoeira in March, 2024. This was Espaço’s 3rd time at the prison and it is always a treat when he brings his mad mad skills and music to the spaces we gather.

Participants learned about and used instruments, like berimbaus and the agogo. Espaço gave a lecture about the history of Capoeira before engaging participants in dance and movement.
