Maculelê is an Afro-Brazilian art form that is part of the practice of capoeira. Maculelê can be practiced with either machetes or sticks, which when struck together become a part of the rhythm and music.

The Emerging Artists Group exhibit was organized by local artist Elaine Morales, who also brought members of the capoeira school she belongs to, Grupo Senzala. The group did a capoeira demonstration among the artwork of local art students.
