![]() MAHKU was also present at the exhibition at the Tomie Ohtake Institute, Histórias mestiças, in 2014, in dialogue with the installation by internationally renowned artist Ernesto Neto. Some of the artists of MAHKU participated also in the MIRA show of Contemporary indigenous art of Latin America in Belo Horizonte (2013), a historical milestone in the history of recognition of indigenous art in Brazil. For this exhibition, a video was made to show the creative process involved in the production of the paintings. ![]() In 2011 a blog ( ) was created which rendered the group an invitation of the Fondation Cartier in Paris to participate of the Exhibition Histoires de voir (2012). The short impressive career of the MAHKU collective is illustrative of its potential for dialogue with other artistic traditions and media (Mattos Ibã, 2017). This project was conceived during a course, at the Federal University of Acre, Forest Campus, in 2009, by Amilton Mattos, who accompanies MAHKU since its foundation. Most of the dami (figurative) paintings of the group refer to the ayahuasca songs taught by Ibã to his pupils, who then paint them under his supervision. 11Ĩ Recently, the MAHKU collective of artists, founded in 2011 in the Rio Jordão and coordinated by Ibã Isaias Sales Huni Kuin, a master of huni meka chants, has gained international visibility. 10 Design (kene) covering the bodies of certain beings, humans, animals, plants and artifacts, points towards their relatedness and transformational capability, revealing the eminently shamanistic property of patterned design. The Shipibo-Conibo and Arawakan Piro from Peru share with the Huni Kuin the auto-denomination of “people with design”.
