Video Room: Vídeo nas Aldeias Vídeo nas Aldeias

Part of the museum’s program dedicated to the theme Histories of Ecology, the exhibition portrays the diversity if indigenous peoples in their ways of seeing, inhabiting, and relating to the world and the environment. The exhibition brings together the films Amne Adji Papere Mba – Carta Kisêdjê para o RIO+20 (2012), by Kamikia Kisêdjê; Bicicletas de Nhanderú (2011), by Ariel Duarte Ortega Kuaray Poty and Patrícia Ferreira Pará Yxapy; and Yaõkwa – Imagem e Memória (2020), by Vincent and Rita Carelli.
 

The films were created through collective processes and workshops promoted by the Vídeo nas Aldeias project. This project was conceived in 1986 by the French-Brazilian anthropologist and documentary filmmaker Vincent Carelli, who was born in Paris, France in 1953. The project began as an initiative to record indigenous communities and share the footage with those who were filmed. Over time, the project has become a training program for indigenous filmmakers in Brazil, offering workshops, technical support, and audiovisual equipment donations.
