A bag of stories # – People of Acupé

A Bag of Stories is a bi-monthly publication by Afar Bags, created by Ayzoh!. Each issue explores one place, one theme, one way of seeing the world: rediscovering the meaning of travel through real encounters and shared humanity.

The first edition, People of Acupé, takes us to Bahia, Brazil, where Capoeira is more than movement: it is language, memory, and community. Through photographs, words, and illustrations, the book celebrates freedom, dignity, and the beauty of being together. Made with the same care that defines every Afar bag, it invites readers to travel slowly, to listen deeply, and to carry stories that matter.
