64. Mafalda Vasconcelos
Mafalda is an artist who is on a journey of self-discovery. Her work is one of the mediums she uses to explore emotions concerning her identity. In a very poetic way, the unspoken bond with her ancestors depicted in her art leaves us in awe. From fashion to fine art prints, connecting the dots on her voyage to the down under, we spoke about her African heritage and how it influences her, how she got her work in London galleries, the unlikely collaboration with A$AP Mob and much more.
