Tekoa Xy — 'The land of Tupã'
Xadalu Tupã Jekupé

Centro Cultural Inclusartiz · 2021

The works gathered here are at an ontological crossroads, as they reflect a fusion between the self-discovery, achieved through the unfolding of their Guarani ancestry, and the creation of artistic works that go beyond subjectivity by critically positioning themselves in relation to the erasure and catechization policies that mark the history of the nation, forged behind the backs of a significant portion of the population. As a result of conversations around the bonfire with the Karai (wise ones) from various communities, Xadalu Tupã Jekupé materializes visions and concerns, bridging indigenous culture and Western culture in a way that emphasizes social contrasts and potential modes of association.
