Exhibition | Sheroanawe Hakihiiwe, 'Thapiri/Sonho' at Fortes D'Aloia & Gabriel, São Paulo, Brazil

Fortes D'Aloia & Gabriel in São Paulo presents 'Thapiri/Sonho', the first gallery exhibition in the city by Yanomami artist Sheroanawe Hakihiiwe. The show features paintings and monotypes that translate daily encounters in the Venezuelan Amazon—animal traces, plant structures, and natural formations—into a graphic vocabulary of lines, dots, circles, and repeating patterns. Hakihiiwe's work draws on Yanomami oral traditions and mnemonic structures, linking observed reality with dream encounters. The exhibition follows his 2023 solo presentation at MASP and includes works previously shown at MAC Parque Forestal in Santiago, Chile, and Sala TAC in Caracas.
