Exhibition in São Paulo explores indigenous cosmologies and ecological themes through organic materials

It features works by artists including Mayra Carvalho, Laryssa Machada, and Felipe Corcione, who use organic and natural materials to address themes of indigenous ancestry, ecological crises, and post-human narratives. Carvalho's large-scale clay installation incorporates seeds and natural fibers, reflecting her Iny Karajá heritage, while Machada's series 'FARTURA' uses raffia bags to explore abundance and scarcity.
