CREATIVE LEGACY
Indigenous peoples' artwork is the continuation of centuries-old cultural expression and craftsmanship. Each piece carries the weight of ancestral knowledge and creativity passed down through generations, reflecting a profound understanding of the natural world.
Their art is more than aesthetic, it tells stories, preserves traditions, and reflects spiritual beliefs. As cultural guardians, Indigenous artists continue to shape and inspire the artistic landscape, carrying forward a legacy of creativity that has existed for centuries.
SYMBOLISM
The benches sculpted by Amazonian Indigenous peoples expand the concept of functionality to encompass a symbolic dimension. For the communities who create them, these benches hold cosmological and ritualistic significance or serve an everyday purpose.
In non-Indigenous societies, they are regarded as art objects and design pieces, opening new horizons for reflecting on the intricate interconnections between traditional arts and contemporary culture.
