Do you know the reality of indigenous women in Brazil?

What do they look like? What do they do? What is their daily life?

The “invisible portraits” seek to present more closely the reality of indigenous women in Brazil today, showing the diversity in their skin tones, hair types, accents, spiritual paths, training and studies, professional choices and political action.
The “retratos invisíveis” project brings together 5 sound, photographic and drawing portraits which aim to give voice to indigenous women, too often invisible to the eyes of society.
This project is the result of a collaboration between French photographer Antoine Buquen, Brazilian journalist Debora Pill and five indigenous women from the state of Bahia, Maria Pankararu, Îã Gwarini Tupinambá, Menbyra Iasy Tupinambá, Txaha Ymboré e Txaynara Ymboré. It was produced in September 2019 during an artistic residency set up by the NGO Thydêwá.
