ancestral indigenous
present
the indigenous ancestry it is active in the present, arrowed to the future, in the past and in the perennial movement of the cosmic serpent.
the transit between the times makes the movement of the indigenous images create like woven fabrics with which our stories are transmitted in the bodies, gestures, sounds, visions and invisible threads on earth and sky.

"We use annatto for body painting, as well as genipap paint, which has its dark bluish texture. The annatto is red, it is essential and cannot be missed on days of play and cultural festivals in the village."
"With genipap paintings representing Gavião, Amjijahere is getting ready to dance.

"Like all other types of tools such as weapons need to be calibrated, the bow is also like that, there's a whole step for that, first get a good strong string and then put it on the end of the bow and then test it.

"A utopia for Brazil. When I think about what Brazil would be like, if it weren't for these bad things that have been happening in our territories? And this is not new, it goes back many years since the invasion of Brazil to the present day.
If our desires and dreams were fulfilled in relation to our struggle of the indigenous movement, for one day we could live happily in our villages in our territories, it would be more or less like that in my speech."

Who wakes up early
Wake up with the birds.
Wake up singing.
Singing for one more day
Sung for life...
The boss says that painting is forbidden here,
That it's been a while since no one has heard
of an artist, cut off the hands of those who
paint,
why do they wake people up like the bird.
And have you sang today?
Have you painted today?
Did you wake up today?
There's still time,
It's not banned yet.

"Abya Yala (Living Land or Land that blooms) is what our ancestors called this territory that would be today from Tierra del Fuego in Argentina to Nunavut in Canada.
The indigenous peoples are native to these lands, we have always been here.
In these last few days there has been another attack on our lives and our way of living in Brazil.
In an ethnocidal country, basic rights are a privilege and to obtain it is a constant, never-ending struggle.
Do you still wonder why the constitution does not represent us?
In none of the countries that make up the Abya Yala (America) are indigenous peoples respected, none of their constitutions like traditional peoples.
All the people in these lands have indigenous blood, some in their veins, others in their hands."

"I am an educator, graduating in Arts at UFPE, willing to the collective practice of self-love connected to ancestral social, racial and economic justice, with experience in institutions such as SESC, João Pernambuco Municipal School of Arts and City Hall of Recite. I am 32 years old and have experience in carrying out Aldir Blanc projects, in addition to planning and carrying out more than 50 art, creative economy and sustainability workshops. I seek to exercise the potential for affective and social transformation through the collective construction of knowledge and expressiveness. I'm a painter and I use different supports and pigments (I mainly use watercolor and acrylic paint techniques), I'm a performer and also an illustrator of movie posters and urban art (lambe-lambe). Currently, I also dedicate myself to a research of scientific innovation (PIBIC-UFPE) mapping collections and educational curatorship of favelas. I am a guest indigenous artist of the CAIN Extension Group (Indigenous Science and Art in the Northeast) and I participate in the TROVOA collective (national articulation of racialized artists, curators and educators)."

She is a self-taught artist who seeks to express through illustrations the thoughts and feelings that permeate her ancestral resurgence journey. Inspired by human frailty, she is fond of experimentation without rules and emotional art, without neglecting the intrinsically political factor of artistic creation.

"I am a sound composer and visual artist, a weaver - I make hand-knitted garments - and an experimental artist with the body, voice and other media, supporting transmission lines for the transit of sounds, images, voices, music and atmospheres.
I compose sound and visual books, sonic tales, imaginations, vignettes, video art, experimental films;
I research the practice of experimental cinema and the survival of images, their presence, appearances, persistence and movement in the fabric of time, and beyond.
I was born and raised in Jequié-Bahia. My family comes from the region of the city of Maracás, in Bahia, and has Kiriri-Tupinambá indigenous peoples origin.
I currently live in São Paulo capital and I'm studying Fine Arts at USP-University of São Paulo"
