In this panel discussion, Brazilian curator Thyago Nogueira will discuss the making of an exhibition he curated, The Yanomami Struggle, which explores the life and work of photographer Claudia Andujar. Andujar has spent much of her career advocating for and creating photographs of the Yanomami people, a group of Indigenous people that live in the Amazon rainforest near the border between Venezuela and Brazil.
This panel discussion, entitled “A Touring Art Exhibition as Work-in-Progress,” will detail the process of curating the aforementioned exhibition, which has toured to Brazil, Europe, and the Americas since 2018. Participants will also explore how Andujar’s photographic archive has been transformed into a platform to showcase the cultures of resistance of the Yanomami people. Nogueira will be in conversation with Juliana Ochs Dweck, Chief Curator of the Princeton University Art Museum. Moderated by João Biehl, Professor of Anthropology and Brazil LAB Director.
