Pivô inaugurates collective exhibition questioning nature-culture divide with 15 artists

On February 22, Pivô will launch its 2021 exhibition program with 'Uma História Natural das Ruínas,' under the curation of Catalina Lozano. This exhibition showcases the creations of fifteen artists, such as Denilson Baniwa (Brazil), Louidgi Beltrame (France), David Bestué (Spain), and Minia Biabiany (Guadeloupe), many of whom are exhibiting in Brazil for the first time. Lozano emphasizes the perspective of colonial regimes that regarded nature merely as a resource for exploitation, a viewpoint that can be contested through Indigenous ecological wisdom. Notable pieces include Beltrame's 'Mesa Curandera' (2018), Isuma's 'Qapirangajuq: Inuit Knowledge and Climate Change' (2009), and works by Sheroanawe Hakihiiwe and David Bestué, influenced by Ferreira Gullar's 'Poema Sujo.'
