Through his work, Joseca Yanomami creates visual translations of scenes from the world of dreams and Yanomami shamanism. In Urihi mãripraɨ – To Dream the Forest-Land, his first solo exhibition at Almeida & Dale, the artist presents works that reveal realities manifested in dreams inhabited by spirits and beings that uphold the sky and the forest-land.
The exhibition features recent works, including paintings on canvas—a new medium in Joseca’s practice—alongside a selection of drawings from the early years of his career. The show is curated by Bruce Albert, an anthropologist who has worked with the Yanomami since 1975 and is the co-author, with Davi Kopenawa, of The Falling Sky: Words of a Yanomami Shaman (2013).
