Documentary, 24" - Brazil, 2014
The painting that manufactures culture. The Mebêngôkre-Kayapó Indians from southern Pará unveil the everyday universe of this creation, learned in mythological times and passed down from generation to generation. The continuity of this tradition, in a world in constant transformation, prompts the Mebêngôkre-Kayapó women, the bearers of this knowledge, to reflect on the differences between Indians and whites.
