Xingu contatos
Sinopse
The catalog contains about 200 images, including those produced by indigenous artists especially for the exhibition inaugurated at IMS Paulista in November 2022. The publication features interviews with indigenous leaders Ailton Krenak and Watatakalu Yawalapiti, texts by researcher Naine Terena, anthropologist Carlos Fausto and the curators of the exhibition, Takumã Kuikuro and Guilherme Freitas, as well as a chronology of the Xingu territory. Naine Terena's text presents a reflection on how indigenous communities have appropriated technological tools to create their own representations. "We still face the stigma of indigenous people who have access to technologies: 'An Indian with a smartphone is no longer an Indian', say those who try to deconstruct struggles and identities, making society in general not recognize indigenous people who dominate their "native media" as indigenous, but rather as people who have already migrated to a "civilized" field. It is in this political field that the audiovisual gains space, precisely to express the opposite: by dominating the technological apparatuses, indigenous cultures are maintained and affirmed by the audiovisual production movement itself", says the researcher.
