Jaider Esbell<\/h2>\n

\"JaiderJaider Esbell is a Macuxi visual artist, curator, writer, educator, activist and cultural producer; he was born in the Indigenous Territory of Raposa Serra do Sol, in Normandy, Roraima. From the time of the First Meeting of All Peoples, in 2013, Esbell assumed an important role in the movement for the consolidation of Contemporary Indigenous Art, acting in a multiple and interdisciplinary way. Bringing together painting, writing, drawing, installation and performance, his work interweaves Indigenous cosmologies, critique of hegemonic culture and socioenvironmental concerns, moving sometimes into the poetic sphere, and sometimes to a more clearly political and activist position. In his first literary work, <\/span>Terreiro de Makunaima \u2013 mitos, lendas e est\u00f3rias em viv\u00eancias <\/span><\/i>(<\/span>Terreiro de Makunaima – myths, legends and stories in lived experience<\/span><\/i>, 2012), Esbell identifies himself as the grandson of Makunaima and defends the taking up of this figure by Indigenous peoples – in Macuxi culture, he is one of the sons of the sun. In 2016, he was the winner of the Pipa Prize for Contemporary Art. In 2020, he created a work-installation called <\/span>Entidades para CURA Circuito Urbano de Arte<\/span><\/i>, in Belo Horizonte, and his works were exhibited at the 34th Bienal de S\u00e3o Paulo and at the Pinacoteca de S\u00e3o Paulo. He lives in Boa Vista and has maintained the Jaider Esbell Gallery of Contemporary Indigenous Art since 2013.

Kunumi MC<\/h2>\n

\"KunumiKunumi MC is a Mby\u00e1-Guarani rapper and writer who lives in Aldeia Krukutu, Parelheiros region, in the south zone of S\u00e3o Paulo. He became known after raising the banner with the words “Demarca\u00e7\u00e3o j\u00e1” (Land demarcation now!) at the opening of the 2014 World Cup. Kunumi is 19 years old and has already released two albums: the debut EP, <\/span>My Blood is Red <\/span><\/i>(2017), and the album <\/span>Todo Dia \u00c9 Dia de \u00cdndio<\/span><\/i> (Every day is the Day of the Indian, 2018). In addition to being a rapper, he is also a writer and has two published books – one with his brother, Tup\u00e3 Mirin, called <\/span>Contos dos Curumins Guaranis<\/span><\/i>, and another that he wrote alone, <\/span>Kunumi Guarani<\/span><\/i>. Tup\u00e3 accompanies Kunumi on stage as DJ Tupan and together they present the strength of RAP Nativo, a new current of Hip Hop, which bases musical creation on native Indigenous views of their own culture – in his case, the Mby\u00e1-Guarani people. As for his musical influences, Kunumi MC points to other native indigenous artists, such as the groups Br\u00f4 MC’s and Oz Guarani, Djuena Tikuna and Ib\u00e3 Huni Kuin, in addition to classic names from RAP, such as Racionais MCs and Criolo, with whom he has also recorded the track \u201cDemarca\u00e7\u00e3o J\u00e1 – Terra Ar Mar\u201d (Land demarcation now – Land Air Sea). So far, Kunumi has also released three other singles: \u201cXondaro Ka\u00b4aguy Regu\u00e1\u201d, \u201cMoradia de Deus\u201d and \u201cFor\u00e7a de Tup\u00e3\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

The artist stars in the documentary <\/span>My Blood is Red<\/span><\/i>, produced by the British company, Needs Must Film. The documentary, recorded in 2016, took the artist to several Indigenous villages across Brazil to get to know the reality of different peoples up close. One of these meetings was with the leader S\u00f4nia Guajajara. During this trip, he witnessed the violence practised by ranchers, loggers, gold miners and politicians against Indigenous people. At the same time, Kunumi met Criolo, one of the most important rappers in the country. Kunumi was also featured on the website of the <\/span>White Feather Foundation<\/span><\/a>, Julian Lennon’s organisation, which supports Indigenous communities around the world. In addition, on December 10, 2020, the artist represented Brazil – alongside Daniela Mercury – at the event to celebrate Human Rights Day, promoted by the UN.<\/span><\/p>\n

For Cultures of Anti-Racism in Latin America, Kunumi recorded a statement, available on the project’s <\/span>YouTube channel<\/span><\/a>. He is also developing a series of online conversations with other Guarani rappers, and producing a single with Kelvin Mbarete (Br\u00f4 Mc’s) and a video clip. alongside artist Ava Rocha, both commissioned for the project\u2019s online exhibition.<\/span><\/p>\n
