This episode analyzes the elements that differentiate contemporary indigenous art in Brazil from the Western art system.

It traces the history leading to its affirmations in Brazil's art scene and global exhibitions. Prominent themes denounce structural racism, land exploitation, climate impacts, and stigmatization while reclaiming histories and identities.

Indigenous artists, curators, and thinkers are entering museums and Biennales to increase representation and support future generations. They aim to subvert power structures by treating art spaces as sites of resistance, countering ongoing threats to indigenous rights.
