Congada

Evandro Marenda explores the colours and culture of Congada in his cover for children's magazine 'Ciência Hoje das Crianças'.

Evandro's latest cover illustration for the science magazine captures the spirit and vibrancy of Congada, a centuries-old festival that commemorates the coronation of the king and queen of the historic Kingdom of Kongo.
 
With vivid colours and a playful style, the artwork brings this cultural celebration to life, offering young readers a visual journey into the rich heritage of Brazil’s Afro-Brazilian communities. The artwork, appearing on the cover of the magazine's November 2024 issue, invites children to explore Congada’s symbolic pageantry—filled with costumes, music, and festive processions.
 
As a longstanding contributor to 'Ciência Hoje das Crianças', Evandro has once again created an illustration that not only decorates but also educates, aligning perfectly with the publication’s mission to engage and inspire Brazil’s next generation of curious minds.
