Amazonia (German edition)

Indigenous Creations and Futures

Herausgeber: Baniwa, Denilson; Varison, Leandro

Beschreibung

Discover the riches of the Amazonian worlds, whose biological wealth is but equal to their prodigious cultural diversity. > Diverse and plural, they are both ancient and contemporary. Over the millennia, these peoples have shaped the forest they share with spirits, animals and explorers. Rooted in tradition and threatened by Western modernity, the Amazon and its peoples have turned their attention to other possible futures. With over 200 illustrations-contemporary art, ephemeral or immaterial art (languages, songs, body art), works from the collections of the Musée du Quai Branly, among others-this book invites readers to discover the Amazon as a place of knowledge, creation, and protest deeply rooted in the present.
