Sheroanawe Hakihiiwe develops a synthetic, concrete and minimal language about the vast and intense relationship that his community has with the jungle, understood as a living entity and indissoluble from the existence of the Yanomami people. For indigenous people, nature is what makes life meaningful; everything is balanced in an immense network in which everything is interconnected.

Description

ABRA and PROXYCO Gallery present a booth featuring artists Dolores Furtado and Sheroanawe Hakihiiwe. Both utilize paper to blend storytelling and experimentation, connecting ancestral traditions with contemporary issues. Furtado’s sculptures, crafted from recycled paper, evoke archaeological artifacts. In contrast, Hakihiiwe’s “Drought” series features minimalist drawings on natural fibers, addressing ecological themes rooted in his Yanomami heritage. Together, they highlight the evolving significance of paper in Latin American art, creating a dialogue that resonates with history and urgency.

Infatuated with materials and delighted by experimentation, Dolores Furtado creates sculptural works that invite viewers to question how they were made. Like artifacts recovered from a preserved ancient city—Pompeii, maybe, or perhaps more aptly, Atlantis—Furtado’s sculptures are at once pristine and timeworn; sumptuous and rough.
