Between 2001 and 2005, artist, curator and manager Andreia Duarte had the opportunity to live with the Kamayura people, in the Xingu Indigenous Park – one of the largest indigenous reserves in Brazil located in the state of Mato Grosso, Legal Amazon. Moment when she carried out different socio-educational projects with the community, such as the Mawaiaka School, the book Moroneta Kamayura – Kamayura Stories, the Awawojamena Ko project – Roça dos Jovens, as well as the management and organization of the Mawustinin Indigenous Association.

The experience deeply expanded notions about the body, art, history, politics, ethics, otherness, knowledge production and ways of existing. As well as the need for activism in the face of social tension and historical invisibility imposed on the reality of indigenous peoples in relation to non-indigenous society.
