Denilson Baniwa integra uma série de estudos inspirados nas gravuras de Theodor de Bry, que documentou a costa brasileira no século XVI. Nesse contexto, o artista insere a expressão em tupi “Yepéara in América” (“bem vindo ao nosso Brasil”), tensionando as narrativas históricas coloniais com perspectivas indígenas contemporâneas. Em Antigamente no Brasil, mãe e filha refletem sobre como preservar a identidade cultural para as novas gerações. Enquanto a mãe pede à filha que jamais esqueça de onde veio, a jovem responde: “Ainda temos muitas coisas para contar ao mundo”. Seres míticos atravessam a composição soprando nomes de plantas sagradas e narrativas ancestrais, enquanto outras vozes evocam um tempo em que os povos viviam de acordo com suas próprias culturas, cosmologias e modos de existência.

[Denilson Baniwa is part of a series of studies inspired by the engravings of Theodor de Bry, who documented the Brazilian coast in the 16th century. In this context, the artist incorporates the Tupi expression “Yepéara in América” (“welcome to our Brazil”), challenging colonial historical narratives through contemporary Indigenous perspectives. In Antigamente no Brasil, a mother and daughter reflect on how to preserve cultural identity for future generations. While the mother urges her daughter never to forget where she comes from, the young girl responds: “We still have many things to tell the world.” Mythical beings move through the composition, whispering the names of sacred plants and ancestral narratives, while other voices evoke a time when Indigenous peoples lived according to their own cultures, cosmologies, and ways of existence.]
