Maxita Yano
Starting April 26, in celebration of its 10th anniversary, Galeria Claudia Andujar undergoes a transformation, adopting the name Claudia Andujar | Maxita Yano—which means “earth house” in the Yanomami language. This reconfiguration marks the gallery’s opening to other artists, peoples, and cosmologies.
Photographic and video works by 22 Indigenous artists from South America occupy the space and deepen discussions initiated by Andujar, with a perspective focused on imagery in Indigenous photography, the struggle for the land, and the alliances that are possible today.
The exhibition is curated by Beatriz Lemos, with Marilia Loureiro as curator of Public Programming and Varusa as curatorial assistant.
Vale is the Lead Sponsor of Galeria Claudia Andujar | Maxita Yano through the Federal Law of Incentive to Culture. Institutional Partnership with the Embassy and Consulate of Colombia.
