Indigenous Art Exhibition 'Encontros Ameríndios' Opens at Sesc Vila Mariana in São Paulo
The exhibition 'Encontros Ameríndios' is currently on view at Sesc Vila Mariana in São Paulo, Brazil. Curated by Aristoteles Barcelos Neto and coordinated by Sylvia Caiuby Novaes, the show brings together artistic production from Indigenous peoples across the Americas, including the Haida and Tahltan from Canada, the Guna from Panama, the Shipibo Konibo from Peru, and the Huni Kuin from Brazil. The exhibition highlights a characteristic of these Amerindian peoples: they do not separate spheres that Western thought considers distinct, such as ethics, aesthetics, and morality. What is aesthetically beautiful is also ethically correct and morally right. The exhibition opened on July 31, 2021, and runs through February 13, 2022. Admission is free with prior scheduling through the Sesc-SP portal. The venue is located at Rua Pelutas, 141, in São Paulo.
