MUAC opens the exhibition “Claudia Andujar and the Yanomami Struggle”
On May 27, the Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo (MUAC) will open the exhibition "Claudia Andujar and the Yanomami Struggle". The show will be dedicated to bringing together the artist's work produced within her extensive collaboration and activism with the Yanomami people, one of the largest indigenous groups in Brazil. Since 1971 the artist has dedicated herself to photographing this indigenous group, portraying their struggles for their ancestral territory and their demands for justice in the face of human rights violations.
The exhibition was curated by Thyago Nogueira, from the Instituto Moreira Salles, with the guidance of Davi Kopenawa, shaman and president of the Hutukara Associação Yanomami. The exhibition, with two hundred photographs by Claudia Andujar, is displayed in parallel to a multidimensional account of Yanomami society, which includes the history of activism and struggle of this indigenous group as well as a selection of their art. "Claudia Andujar and the Yanomami Struggle" has the dual objective of giving an overview of Andujar's legacy in the medium of photography as well as making visible her activism in the struggle for Yanomami rights.
This exhibition was organized by the Instituto Moreira Salles, the Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo, MUAC, UNAM, and the Museo Amparo, in collaboration with the Hutukara Associação Yanomami and the Instituto Socioambiental. The exhibition will be on view through October of this year at the Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo, Av. Insurgentes Sur 3000, C.U., Coyoacán, 04510 Mexico City, CDMX, Mexico.
