Couleurs d'Amazonie
Opening on November 12-13 during the weekend Genève Art Contemporain.
Exhibition until January 14, 2017.
This exhibition presents works by Niura Bellavinha, Ernesto Neto and Christina Oiticica, three contemporary artists who use raw materials in reference to the culture of the indians who are native of the Amazon region. Their culture transports us into a spiritual space that mixes the environment of the three artists presented hereby.
Niura Bellavinha uses the roucou (urucum), a red pigment used in body paintings by South American indigenous tribes. Christina Oiticica works with the intervention of women from the Katukina tribe in her artwork. Ernesto Neto has a profound desire to connect people, places and cultures as shown in his work Once in Love.
On Sunday, November 13, 2016, at 3 p.m., we invite you to an Amazonian Shamanic ritual.
Traditionally used in the rites of the indigenous people of the Amazon region for over 4000 years, ayahuasca allows the "shamans", or healers, also known as masters to enter a stage of trance for divination purposes or for therapeutic reasons.
"The Plant, as we call the Hoasca tea, facilitates access to focus our attention inward. We see it more as a sacred substance than a hallucinogenic concoction. It allows us to connect with Divine energy. "
