A centerpiece of Axé Bahia, J. Cunha’s Códice (Codex), 2010–2015, is a vibrant installation of twenty-one painted panels illustrating the central tenets of Candomblé and Umbanda—two distinct Afro-Brazilian religions. In this gallery talk, Axé Bahia lead curator Patrick A. Polk decodes Cunha’s colorful iconography of orixás, mythological tales, cosmological themes, and historical events.
