Claudia Andujar

Bico, a boy of São Paulo, goes to school, shops with his mother, and visits a snake institute and his grandfather's farm.

A Week in Bico's World: Brazil

For the first time an extremely accurate synthesis of the whole of Andujar's photographic production. Renowned for her provocative images of the Yanomami Indians (she is an active promoter in defence of the Indians and their territories) the more than 140 powerful and well-constructed images contained in this book present the artist in a wider context: As an archaeological photographer, a photojournalist, a fashion photographer and a fine art photographer. The book was published along an exhibition by the same name held in 2005.

A vulnerabilidade do ser

This book is published to accompany "Claudia Andujar, The Yanomami Struggle" at the Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain in Paris, one of the most ambitious exhibitions devoted to the Brazilian photographer. Since the 1970s, Claudia Andujar has dedicated her life to photography and the protection of the Yanomami Indians, one of the largest Amerindian communities in the Brazilian Amazon. Claudia Andujar features over 200 black-and-white and color photographs, historical documents, and drawings produced by Yanomami artists. The fruit of several years' research into the photographer's archives, this exhibition catalog reflects the two inseparable aspects of Andujar's approach: aesthetic and political. This catalog also shows Andujar's significant contribution to art photography and the essential role she has played in the defense of Yanomami rights and the forest where they live.
