Starting this Thursday (3/28), the Public Library of Amazonas (rua Barroso, 57, Centro) will host the photo exhibition "Territory Obviousby Julián Aude Santacruz. The exhibition is composed of 20 of Julián's records, portraying the daily life of two indigenous communities. Admission is free and the rating is free.
"Obvious Territory" is a recompilation of visits made by Julián, between 2016 and 2018, to the Tatuyo and Dessana villages on the Negro River. "Although made at different times, when shown together they make a timeline, a record of things that are changing in these communities and that will never be the same," explains the artist, who wants, with the exhibition, to draw the public's attention to the importance of connecting with one's roots. "My reflection is: take advantage of this cultural wealth, which is so close. But we always put it off until later, and things change very quickly.
The exhibit is open until June, in the upper hall of the Library, from Monday to Friday, from 8am to 5pm. The curator is the artistic photographer Selma Maia. According to her, the photographs freeze time and preserve the history of a people. "Julián's inspiration moves in the 'dense forest of indigenous culture' and allows the understanding of indigenous diversity, so rich and wonderful, and respect for the singularities of the cultural mosaic of a people," she reports.
