Gustavo Greco - Siré (Xirê). The space located right at the entrance to CASACOR Minas Gerais is a unique, imagistic path that allows for unique experiences for those who pass through it. Simple, without color interference, the wood is used on the floor and on the cobogós that flank it - they represent the challenge of reestablishing ancestral ties, essential to identity. Made of African mahogany, the pieces display symbols that represent the orishas. Siré (Xirê), a word in Yoruba, means circle or dance used to evoke the Orishas, according to each nation.
