O Menelick 2º Ato is a cultural project based in Brazil. It focuses on the valorization of Black culture through visual, literary arts, and other artistic genres. Established as a platform, it operates primarily through its influential magazine that showcases Afro-Brazilian, African and African diaspora artistry and perspectives. The initiative is celebrated for its profound impact on the representation of Black culture in Brazilian media, often highlighting themes of racial identity, historical contributions, and contemporary societal impacts of the African diáspora communities.

Notably, their work has been featured in various cultural institutions and events across Brazil, USA and Europe, emphasizing a narrative of empowerment and visibility that shows a new model of a world in which plurality is a real possibility.
