After an entire semester of studying the history and main cultural and political issues of Amazonia through different discourses and poetics, the students of the course “The Cultural Production of Amazonia,” taught by Catalina Arango Correa, had the privilege to witness the exhibition “Under the Skin of History” by indigenous Amazonian artist Denilson Baniwa, featured at Art@Bainbridge. Professor and Global Scholar Carlos Fausto, one of the world’s most prominent cultural anthropologists on Amazonia, guided this visit to the exhibition and spoke with the students about Baniwa’s use of technology and the language of mass culture to intervene in the European archive on Amazonia. The students had a lively
