Like Ty ty - memórias de beija flor, this short video by Denilson Baniwa projects the violence of colonisation onto an urban context, positing the transformed, devoted forest as a site of reinvention. Denilson Baniwa is an indigenous artist who was born in the village of Darí, in Rio Negro, Amazonas. He is an anthropophagous artist who he appropriates Western languages to decolonize them in his work.
