Fabric: Linen
Painting: Brown Acrylex fabric paint
Graphisms are typical expressions of several indigenous Brazilian peoples, expressed through body paintings, basketry, and ceramics. The graphic designs of the Kayapó ethnic group from Tucumã, Pará, are characterized by fine and precise lines, closely placed together, using fabric as a support. The responsibility of learning and transmitting this tradition lies with the women. In this collaboration between the Kayapó indigenous people and Studio Objeto, we provide linen fabrics, and the paintings are executed using acrylic paint. The natural paint traditionally used by the community has been replaced with chemical paint to ensure durability. Our team takes care of shipping the materials to the indigenous area. The pieces always return with surprises, soul and carry stories within them.
