Assistant Curator for the Exhibition Índios no Brasil, featured in the Europalia Festival, Belgium, for the Brazilian Ministry of Culture, 2011.
This multifaceted exhibition transports you into the heart of the Amazon to discover the immense diversity of Indian peoples in Brazil. During this unique journey, you will plunge into their daily lives, meet their shamans, and understand their society and beliefs. Baskets, ceramics, masks, musical instruments and magnificent feather crowns, sacred and everyday objects: an unknown universe of incredible vitality unfolds before your eyes.
Two groups of Indigenous people, the Kayapo and the Mehinaku, featured rituals from their traditional repertoire in the exhibition program. The performances unveiled art of the Kayapo, whose almost exclusively vocal music and energetic dances irradiate strength and vitality. On the other hand, the music of the Mehinaku, who live in the Xingu Indigenous Park, displayed an extraordinary combination of rhythm, vocals and instruments.
