Macunaíma's Youthful Respite on Verdant Meadows
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut bibendum tortor sit amet ligula rutrum, at porta tortor convallis ...
The "Macunaíma" series comprises a collection of paintings and sculptures that portray Macunaíma as a divine figure, a Brazilian Orixá. The elevation of the anti-hero to a divine status serves as a response to the colonialist stereotype that has long depicted Indigenous people as indolent and lazy—a tactic employed to subjugate and diminish them, justifying domination and forced conversion. Another notable aspect of the character is his transformation into a white figure, symbolizing the whitewashing of the population who conceal or deny their ancestral heritage.
By presenting Macunaíma as a national entity, it prompts contemplation of Brazil's intricate complexity and diversity. It pays tribute to its historical roots while embracing the ongoing transformation of the country, embodying the collective Brazilian identity.
