This episode analyzes the elements that differentiate contemporary indigenous art in Brazil from the Western art system.
It traces the history leading to its affirmations in Brazil's art scene and global exhibitions. Prominent themes denounce structural racism, land exploitation, climate impacts, and stigmatization while reclaiming histories and identities.
Indigenous artists, curators, and thinkers are entering museums and Biennales to increase representation and support future generations. They aim to subvert power structures by treating art spaces as sites of resistance, countering ongoing threats to indigenous rights.
Welcome to the Contemporary Indigenous Art podcast.
This episode gives an overview of the path that has led to the affirmation of contemporary indigenous art within the Brazilian art scene in the past 10 years, tracing key events and exhibitions that brought visibility. It covers Western limitations of static, ethnographic framings, debates on art versus craft, and the use of new mediums. The interviews provide perspectives on the assertion of indigenous identity within Western systems, links to political struggles, and aim to influence the art world by forcing recognition of indigenous aesthetics.
