Claudia Andujar, who has been working with the Yanomami people living in the heart of the Amazon rainforest since the early 1970s, is the creator of the most significant photographic body of work dedicated to them to date. A founding member of the Brazilian NGO Comissão Pró Yanomami (CCPY), the photographer plays a fundamental role in securing the Brazilian government’s recognition of their territory. This exhibition thus highlights Claudia Andujar’s extraordinary contribution to the art of photography as well as to the defense of human rights, environmental preservation, and global cultural diversity.
As part of the exhibition, the Fondation Cartier is publishing a catalog featuring the artist’s photographs as well as excerpts from her notebooks. Texts by Claudia Andujar, Thyago Nogueira (curator of the exhibition), and Bruce Albert (an anthropologist who lived with the Yanomami), along with a map of Yanomami territory and a timeline, document both the artist’s commitment and the history of one of the last peoples of the Amazon rainforest.
