Yanomami Brincalao


I had some amazing experiences, meeting the indigenous and the caboclos (ethnic mixture of Indigenous, Portuguese, African) of Brazil during my time there. I was invited to fly into a Yanomami village nearby a mining site, belonging to a man who had collected some of my art. By this time I had already ascertained that the offer was not exactly as it seemed. The poorer Brazilians were never the ones who tried to get a leg over on the Gringa. I decided to decline and work from research and photos for this one.
