Daiara Tukano opens her new exhibition, Omẽ Mahsã – Invisible Beings, at Almeida & Dale. Taking place at the gallery’s venue at 1360 Rua Fradique Coutinho, the show brings together a new body of work reflecting on animals, beings, and entities associated with the element of air.
The exhibition comprises approximately twenty paintings, including one monumental work measuring over three meters in lenght, and a set of works executed in ink on paper. The paintings feature representations of rhythmic patterns called Hori, as well as depictions of winds and birds connected to important narratives of the Yepá Mahsã people, also known as the Tukano People. Through these works, Daiara develops an investigation into the culture of her People while engaging in formal explorations of shape and light, seeking to understand the density and vibrational qualities of these forms.
The return to the São Paulo with Omẽ Mahsã – Invisible Beings follows a series of projects—including exhibitions, curatorial initiatives, and lectures—in cities such as Brasília, Rio de Janeiro, Rome, and Paris, through which Daiara has consistently intertwined artistic practice and activism in support of Indigenous rights.
