Metoro Kukradjá - Photobook for the Museum of the Indian, 2015.
"Metoro Kukràdjà," whose meaning is "the knowledge of festivals/rituals," presents the art and aesthetics of the Mebengôkre-Kayapó people in southern Pará. It is a contemporary document of the life and culture of the Kayapó. The work compiles the experience of over 5 years from the Kukràdjà Nhipêjx project (Documenting the Mebengôkre-Kayapó Culture), carried out with the direct participation of young Kayapó researcher scholars and the entire community of the Môjkarakô village (Kayapó Indigenous Land, PA).
