Pivô Salvador will screen on April 27th (Saturday) the film “Naquele tempo todos eram gente” [In Those Times, Everyone Was People], by artist Aline Baiana, who is currently in residence at Pivô Salvador. The screening will be followed by a conversation between the artist and Mayá Muniz Pataxó Hã Hã Hãe, a master of traditional knowledge, indigenous educator, and advisor to Teia dos Povos. The activity is free and open to the public.
Film Synopsis: Sandra Benites, Guarani-Ñandeva, narrates the creation of Urutau. A bird that remains motionless on a branch during the day and at dusk echoes a melancholic song like a lament. In December 2013, as if fulfilling the manifest destiny in his name, José Urutau Guajajara remained atop a tree for 26 hours, deprived of food and water by the forces of the State, heroically resisting the third eviction of Maracanã Village.
