Beskrivning
The book discusses the representation of Amazonian indigenous cultures in art and anthropological exhibitions through the analysis of a series of case studies of temporary exhibitions taking place in museums and biennials in Brazil, Europe and the United States spanning a period of 25 years from the mid-1980s. The book puts forward the concept of ‘minor curating’ as a strategy to amplify access to collections of historical relevance for indigenous peoples and to enable them to develop projects that are politically, historically and culturally meaningful for their own societies through curatorial authorship.

Recensioner i media

This ground-breaking work uses extensive archival research and informative illustrations to bring Amazonia-focused exhibitions to life under an astute, critical gaze combining anthropology, art history and museum studies. The thought-provoking analysis opens a new window on how we represent others and how they might be given the space to represent themselves. —Stephen Hugh-Jones, Honorary Emeritus Associate, King’s College, University of Cambridge, UK.
