“José Chambel’s analogue photography focuses on the preservation of cultural heritage in Portugal, São Tomé and Principe and Cape Verde, bringing ancestral practices and traditions to the contemporary field. Across the globe, he also explores the African diaspora; legacy of culture and history brings a plurality of the individual, voices and stories.
“Chambel’s perspective is like that of an archaeologist and his themes focus on tangible and intangible heritage through his photographs installation. Collectors will be drawn to their sense of folklore and masquerades as well as the diversity of subject and landscapes.”
