WINTER 2018

AMAZONAS

We set forth on a journey to the tribes of the Amazon to show you life in a
different perspective: how a modern world transforms the household of indigenous
peoples.




In the XV century the household of Amazonas indians started to change
drastically: first, gold diggers arrived in the virgin selva, then they were
replaced by rubber and rare minerals extractors. Today selva suffers from
extraction of petroleum, poaching and agrobusiness lobby. The tribes endured
extermination, the indians were enslaved, they died in thousands from previously
unknown diseases. However, some peoples survived and stayed on their native
land. We decided that their story deserves to be told.

AMAZONAS is a multimedia exhibition. We work on photostories, short video and
audio recordings, which can show the modern household of the tribes and those
traditions that they kept in full. We don’t stop on staged photography in
national costumes: we also document modern life of the communities as it is,
with schools, houses made of galvanized metal and radio points. We want to show
how amazonian cultures change under the pressure of time and what reactions
happen as a result of the collision.

We visited villages of the Yanomami, the most traditional and remote tribe of
the Orinoko upper reaches. We made it to the Vaorani community, who only 5 years
ago kidnapped two girls from another avoidant clan as a result of a clan
revenge. In eastern Peru we visited Ashaninka communities of the Aravac group,
who communicate with the western civilization since the times of conquistadors.
In the south of Colombia we reached the Tikuna village, one of the most modern
and populous tribes on the shores of Amazonas. We were fortunate to meet the
Pirahã tribe in Brazil - it is their language that successfully became the apple
of discord in the contemporary linguistics theory.


In the exhibition photos, video and audio recordings, maps, household items and
detailed descriptions of tribal life will be included. We will invite
anthropologists and linguists to give lectures on presented tribes.


 

The team

 “AMAZONAS is my yearning to show that life on our planet is incredible and
diverse. It is my attempt to transform the mindset with images, stories and
issues which are very similar to ours but exist in some parallel universe, of
which we know nothing”

“How do those who only 70 years ago haven’t seen a white man feel today? How do
those who survived the Amazon rubber boom feel? Civil wars? Technological
revolution? It is a story of a shock transformation - the most interesting
anthropological process in the world”
