Dialogues of Fire: Exu, Ogun and Xangô. Santo António in Afro-Brazilian Mythology is a documentary exhibition on the universality of the cult of Saint Anthony, which explores the relationship between three orishas and the saint.
The Museum of Lisbon—Saint Anthony, in partnership with the Ayô Association, highlights the nuances of the Catholic saint through his connection with the Afro-Brazilian spiritual culture of Candomblé. It uses photographs, statuettes, paintings, and worship objects to explore rituals and practices based on Afro-Brazilian mythology.
