Ayrson Heráclito: Òye brings together and reflects more than three decades of production by one of Brazil’s most important contemporary artists.

Organized by curator by Marcelo Campos and published by Cobogó, the book offers a comprehensive immersion into Ayrson Heráclito’s trajectory, spanning photography, performance, installation, video, and sculpture. Structured around the Yoruba concept of Òyé (understanding), the publication weaves together body, memory, and spirituality, exploring Afro-diasporic cosmologies and challenging modes of representing the sacred. Across seven conceptual axes, the book presents multiple reading paths that highlight a body of work marked by continuous reinvention and the power of Afro-Atlantic cultures.

Featuring texts by the artist himself and by Marcelo Campos, this edition becomes an invitation to a sensitive and critical experience of an artistic thought that inscribes the marks of history onto the body, while also projecting possibilities for the future.
