The Fondation Cartier reopens its doors in June with Claudia Andujar and her exhibition "The Yanomami Struggle". From June 16 to September 13, 2020, discover the Yanomami people and the Amazon through the photos of the Brazilian artist. An impressive journey through over 300 photographs and historical documents.

The Fondation Cartier is dedicating an exhibition to a cause and a photographer it has long supported: Claudia Andujar presents her work on the Yanomami people. Entitled The Yanomami Struggle, the exhibition brings together over 300 photographs, drawings, historical documents and an audiovisual installation, to introduce us to this people of the Brazilian Amazon. Interrupted by the coronavirus epidemic, the Fondation Cartier is due to reopen its doors on June 16, and the exhibition has been extended until September 13, 2020.

For several years now, Brazilian photographer Claudia Andujar has been sharing the daily lives and struggles of the Yanomami people of Amazonia. In this exhibition at the Fondation Cartier, hundreds of photos retrace the lives, joys, rituals and struggles of the Yanomami. The Yanomami defend their rights and the forest they inhabit against the politicians and companies that plunder the forest.

Claudia Andujar's work is as aesthetic as it is political. The interplay of colors, the black-and-white shots, the photographer's hand drawings and the video installation all carry this important message, this fight that the Yanomami are waging against deforestation and the endangerment of their way of life.

Through these images, many of which have never been shown before, the artist also reveals the emotions, intimacy and culture of her subjects. Davi Kopenawa Yanomami, shaman and spokesperson for the Yanomami people, hopes that her story can be told, so that her people and their struggles are finally respected.

Come and discover the exhibition La Lutte Yanomami at the Fondation Cartier, and get to know a rich culture dedicated to protecting its environment. If you'd like to discover new cultures, don't miss the AlUla exhibition at the Institut du Monde Arabe.
