Itaú Cultural Archives Explore Indigenous Culture, Memory, and Brazilian Art During Pandemic
The Itaú Cultural archives present a multifaceted exploration of Brazilian culture, challenging traditional patrimonial thinking regarding indigenous heritage. A newly launched project has already cataloged approximately 300 works by the painter Lorenzato. The online Paulista Cultural event held its first digital edition. A Portuguese-Brazilian film employs a poetic and documentary approach to tell the story of the Krahô tribe. The institution examines cultural management in Brazil during the pandemic and amid broader attacks on culture. The exhibition "Tunga: Conjunções Magnéticas" celebrates the enduring legacy of the artist's work. Art is positioned as a space of freedom, while places of memory serve as sites of resistance. The critical perspective questions how indigenous culture fits within established heritage frameworks.
