Indigenous culture is one of the best ways to tell the story of Brazil, and with that in mind, between March 29th and April 2nd,
MASP Loja will be bringing the work of indigenous creators as part of the program for the
19th edition of SP-Arte .
Curated by Adélia Borges, objects such as
baskets, ceramics, wooden objects and ornaments made of glass beads and seeds will be presented, in addition to other products from the MASP Store.
In this edition, the MASP stand will be located on the 2nd floor of the Biennale, between
stands G7 and G8 , with objects from
25 indigenous peoples from the tribes: Apurinã, Arara, Baniwa, Baré, Guarani Mbya, Juruna, Kadiwéu, Karajá, Kayapó Mekrãgnoti, Krahô, Marúbo, Mehinako, Ofaié, Parakanã, Sateré-Mawé, Terena, Ticuna, Tukano, Tupiniquim, Waimiri-Atroari, Wauja, Yanomami, Yawalapiti, Waroe and Z'oé.
The predominant population is from the Amazon, but there are also people from other regions and even from the city of São Paulo (such as the Guarani Mbya). One particularity is the presence of refugees – the
Warao , originally from Venezuela, who have
recently migrated to Brazil .
“Since 2016, MASP Loja has included objects made by designers, indigenous peoples and artisans from rural areas or urban outskirts in its portfolio. The products are presented side by side, without hierarchy, reflecting the richness of our cultural diversity. For SP-Arte, we have intensified and expanded contacts with indigenous peoples, reiterating our commitment to the plurality of Brazilian culture,” says Adélia Borges, assistant curator, MASP Loja.
