"Fighting for the forest is fighting against patriarchy, against femicide, against racism, against gender binarity. And against the idea that the human is at the center of everything."
Eliane Brum "Banzeiro Òkôtó", Éditions du sous-sol, 2024.
The Amazon rainforest is ablaze amid a frenzied cacophony; chainsaws fell ancient trees, the Belo Monte dam dries the Xingu River, and bullets fell the forest peoples and their defenders. Terra preta, the black soil, sedimented over millennia, is the ancestral legacy of symbiotic human activity. This rich soil, born from timeless alliances between indigenous peoples and the forest, represents a delicate equilibrium to be maintained. Artists Uýra Sodoma and Gê Viana, natives of these lands, highlight the beauty and complexity of interdependencies in the Amazon through a sensitive and critical artistic dialogue. They address the colonial history of Brazil while celebrating ties to the land and deconstructing constraining iconographies.
