Men am-ním is the approximate translation, in the language of the Krenak people, of the Portuguese word "Occupation" – in fact, the indigenous word is used to define a "conquered, occupied place," a territory "where I want to be to pass on knowledge." The original term could not be more appropriate to name the Ailton Krenak Occupation, which opened at Itaú Cultural, on Avenida Paulista, in São Paulo, on August 30.
“Indigenous culture does not fit into patrimonialist thinking”
One of the country's most prominent intellectuals, Ailton Krenak, has an exhibition on Avenida Paulista and says that the new generation of indigenous artists has exploded the capsule of colonial caricatures.
