Riverlines brings together three generations of Amazonian Indigenous artists — Chico da Silva, Joseca Yanomami, and Kuenan Mayu — whose practices are rooted in the living traditions of the Yanomami, Tikuna, Tariana, and Tukano peoples. Da Silva's hybridized animal forms and serpentine lines emerge from indigenous cosmology; Joseca Yanomami's paintings embody visions of the Yanomami land-forest; Kuenan Mayu works with natural Amazonian pigments on sacred tururi canvas, ranging from intimate ancestral gestures to hallucinatory cosmologies. The exhibition positions these artistic genealogies within current discourse on climate, extractivism, and Indigenous rights — their beauty, as the gallery notes, explicitly political.
