Siamo Foresta
22 de junho a 29 de outubro de 2023
Triennale Milano & Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain
Milão, Itália
Siamo Foresta stages an unprecedented encounter between thinkers
and defenders of the forest; between Indigenous artists – from New
Mexico to the Paraguayan Chaco through the Amazon (Brazil, Peru
and Venezuela) – and non-Indigenous artists (Brazil, China,
Colombia, France).
It originates from a collaboration of Yanomami artist Sheroanawe
Hakihiiwe, from the Venezuelan Amazon and Fabrice Hyber, a French
artist who, for twenty years, has sown a vast temperate forest in
the west of France to regenerate barren lands.
This inaugural dialogue – from forest to forest – unfolds in the
exhibition into a prolific aesthetic and metaphysical conversation
between non-Indigenous artists, inspired by their passion for the
living worlds, and a large group of Indigenous artists committed
to the defense of their native lands.
The philosophy and contemporary art of the Indigenous societies of
the Americas convey a fundamental message: the urgency to
reimagine a humbler role for humans among other living beings. All
the artists who are exhibited here were brought together because
of this concern for equality among all living beings and the
recognition of the porosity of the borders which seemingly
distinguish them.
Siamo Foresta draws its founding inspiration from this aesthetic
and political vision of the forest as an egalitarian multiverse of
living beings, human and non-human and, as such, offers the
vibrant allegory of a possible world beyond our anthropocentrism.
As the Indigenous leaders of Brazil say: "We need to reforest
minds to cure the Earth".
