Djamila Ribeiro celebrates new phase with rebranding and a “see you soon” to Brazil before teaching at MIT

Philosopher and professor Djamila Ribeiro is preparing for a new chapter in her international journey. In the coming days, she will travel to the United States, where later this month she will take on the role of visiting professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), as part of the prestigious Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK Visiting Professors & Scholars Program) — becoming the first Brazilian to teach in this program.
To mark this see-you-soon to Brazil, Djamila will host guests this Saturday, the 13th, at a special gathering at Dalva e Dito, the restaurant of chef Alex Atala. The occasion celebrates her path and also marks the presentation of the rebranding of her personal brand, developed by the agency Future Brand, which symbolizes the beginning of a new phase in her global presence.
To honor this moment, the agency conducted a photoshoot with photographer Ricardo Barcellos, inspired by the color green and references to the orixá Oxóssi. Get a first look at some of these images:

Recognized as one of the leading voices in contemporary critical thought, Djamila Ribeiro will continue to expand her academic and cultural presence, bringing the legacy of Black Brazilian feminism to one of the world’s centers of excellence. Her new visual identity reflects this movement: an arrow that crosses borders, rooted in Brazil but in constant dialogue with the world.
