IN WHICH WAYS CAN WE INHABIT THE WORLD?

The stories in this exhibition demonstrate the diverse life experiences of indigenous women and men. They report on movement, territory, body and ancestry – and they allow us to reflect on all of that. In the paths they took, these people were guided by their own stories, finding within themselves their own ways of inhabiting the world, whether in a city, a village, or a university. In essence, these narratives connect these indigenous lives and, somehow at the same time, show their differences. Each of these men and women – from distinct peoples, of distinct ages, with distinct knowledges and cultures – teaches us a new way of being in the world.

WARAO INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE

Since 2017, when Venezuelan refugees started migrating to Brazil, the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) has been developing specific programs for indigenous populations, taking into account their rights, their ways of life, and the means to protect them.

The approximately 7000 indigenous people of Venezuela registered by the UNHCR in several Brazilian states are part of the Warao, Pemón, Eñepá, Kariña and Wayúu ethnic groups.

The UNHCR believes it is essential that these communities have decision-making power over their own lives.

That is why the UNHCR strives to ensure their autonomy, respect for their traditions, and support for their decisions.

The UNHCR’s “Cultura Imaterial Warao” (“Warao Intangible Cultural Heritage”) videos share some of the Warao traditional knowledge as a means of integrating them into society.

INDIGENOUS PEOPLES FOR LAND & LIFE

Indigenous Peoples for Land & Life is a project by the Museum of the Person in partnership with Armazém Memória and the Institute of Relational Policies, with the support of the Norwegian Embassy. The project was aimed at presenting the struggle of new indigenous leaders for the right to (and the demarcation of) their peoples’ land, among many other struggles waged by the Brazilian indigenous community to guarantee their inherent rights.

 

Eight indigenous men and women from different peoples were interviewed about their life stories. Their narratives help us understand the history of how the indigenous community has suffered from violations of their rights in Brazil.
