Forest: Ancestry and Dystopia
February 19th, 2022 – July 16th, 2022
A groundbreaking photography exhibition raising awareness about the Amazon's mythical, environmental and anthropological characteristics.
The Fundación Pablo Atchugarry Miami is pleased to announce Forest: Ancestry & Dystopia presented by The55Project Art Foundation and curated by Eder Chiodetto. The exhibition features the work of 16 Brazilian artists, many of whom have dedicated their careers to chronicling life in the rainforest and protecting an ecosystem. Collectively, their work examines the delicate, and often perilous, balance between ecology, ancestral communities, and unbridled ambition encroaching on the forest—with profound impact for the planet.
Exhibiting artists: Claudia Andujar, Luiz Braga, Rodrigo Braga, Gisela Motta, Leandro Lima, Walda Marques, Elaine Pessoa, Elza Lima, Edgar Kanaykõ, Rogério Assis, Regina Parra, Lalo de Almeida, Victor Moriyama, Nailana Thiely, Luciana Magno, and Ana Nitzan.
Curated by Eder Chiodetto, the exhibition aims to raise awareness about the Amazon’s rich natural resources, reflecting on its mythical, environmental, and anthropological aspects, as well as calling attention to the destructive forces that threaten the biome: deforestation, agro-industry, and illegal mining.
