What stories and memories do we carry within our bodies? What connections exist between us and the places we come from?
Our bodies are living landscapes, threaded with rivers of memory. They hold traces of our origins, our ancestors, and our personal histories.
In this participatory workshop, participants are invited to experience their bodies as living rivers. Lying down, connected to the ground and with their eyes closed, they embark on a journey through their memories. Inspired by these experiences, they create personal river landscapes that open up space for exchange, reflection, and shared stories.
Participants are welcome to take the results of their work home with them as a personal memory.
Xadalu Tupã Jekupé is an Indigenous artist of Guarani descent whose practice is rooted in the legacy of the Guarani-Mission Baroque and in the historical processes of catechization and cultural erasure in the Pampa region. Working across painting, silkscreen printing, photography, and installation, he creates narratives that intertwine mythology, spirituality, memory, and history, challenging colonial structures and affirming the contemporary vitality of Indigenous art. He has participated in residencies in France, Spain, Italy, Chile, at Collegium (Arévalo), and at the Humboldt Forum (Berlin). His work is held in major collections, including the National Museum of Fine Arts, the São Paulo Museum of Modern Art, the Rio de Janeiro Museum of Art, the Museum of Indigenous Cultures, the Iberê Camargo Foundation, and the French Treasury Collection.
