present

ancestral indigenous present, publication nº 1, from mîmxox eoató, 'red spear' in Patxohã-Maxacali language, sought to present contemporary indigenous artists and communicators, who transit in the occupation of digital spaces and social media as forms of mediation, conversation, activism and to show their creations.

​

Through art, we indigenous people of different branches, peoples, with their different histories, each in their own way, in this Pindorama territory, where Brazil was invented, cross each other and make a chorus, a song, a scream, a noise, a protest and with our images, with our movements, around a big bonfire that lights in our hearts, and we dance for the ancestors of yesterday, today and tomorrow, for the right to life and land. Life flows, the river flows, the sky rises and the earth is woven for the firm foot. 

​

I want to thank all the artists present in this publication, for their availability, exchange and sharing of experiences. I thank Luciana de Paula Santos/Love Letter exe, for the invitation and space for this publication in the Metatopia pavilion, which she curates, at The wrong biennale nº 5.
