Saudade Artistry

SHIFT

INTRODUCTION

Saudade is a deep emotional longing for something or someone absent. It is a craving for happiness that has passed or never existed in the reality around us.

With the onset of 2020 lockdowns, Saudade became an art form penetrating the domains of travel, performing arts, food and beverage, family life and morning to night experiences.
