Edgar Calel's Guatemalan Cultural Installation at Inhotim and Auritha Tabajara's Indigenous Literary Work

The work addresses themes of colonization through its conceptual framework. Simultaneously, Auritha Tabajara has produced a literary piece titled "Magistério indígena em verso e prosa," focusing on indigenous pedagogy and expression.

Calel's installation involves moving mountains as a metaphorical act, while Tabajara's work employs verse and prose to explore educational themes.
