DESCRIPTION:A round table about Indigenous art from the Brazilian Northea
 st and its connection with environmental questions and land struggle. Th
 e Indigenous peoples from the Northeast of Brazil were the first to suff
 er the impact of colonisation after the landing of the Portuguese in the
  region in 1500. Centuries of continuous colonial violence forced many I
 ndigenous groups to forget their language and hide their traditions and 
 spiritual beliefs. The retomada (retaking or reclaiming) movements\, whi
 ch took place after the 1988 Constitution\, saw many groups in the North
 east reclaim their ancestral lands whilst recovering and fostering the u
 se of language\, rituals\, and traditions. The last six years have also 
 seen an impressive surge in Northeastern Indigenous art\, with environme
 ntal and land issues taking a central role.  \n\nThe following people wi
 ll speak:\n\nOlinda Yawar Tupinambá (Pau Brasil\, Brazil\, 1989) is a mu
 ltidisciplinary artist known for using her body as a political statement
  to address environmental issues and human-nature entanglements. Since 2
 015\, she has directed several independent audiovisual works\, including
  documentaries and fiction. She has curated and produced major film fest
 ivals\, such as Cine Kurumin\, and the Kaapora Festival of Indigenous an
 d Environmental Film. In 2024\, she was an invited artist at the 60th Ve
 nice Biennale with her installation "Balance\," featured in the Hãhãwpuá
  Pavilion (the renamed Brazil Pavilion).\n\nZiel Karapotó (São Sebastião
 \, Brazil\, 1994) is a multidisciplinary artist. His work spans filmmaki
 ng\, painting\, installations\, and performing arts. He exhibited the in
 stallation "School of Fish II" at the 60th Venice Biennale\, also featur
 ed in the Hãhãwpuá Pavilion\, and won several awards for his short film 
 "The Word Became Flesh" (2019). Since 2021\, Karapotó has led the Karaxu
 wanassu Association of Indigenous People in Urban Contexts (ASSICUKA).\n
