MOARA TUPINAMBÁ (1983) is a transdisciplinary artivist and curator. She is a Tupinambá from the Amazon and works with collage, painting, textile art, and muralism, intertwining ancestral knowledge, spirituality, and counter-colonial critique. Her works move between urban territories and the forest, focusing on memory and Indigenous resistance.

She has been part of important exhibitions in Brazil and abroad, and her solo shows include: Mirasawá, o que a tempestade não leva (Museu Nacional da República, 2025), Maenry – Tupinambá, eu existo (Museu do Estado do Pará, 2024), Ressurgences of Amazon (Kunstraum Innsbruck, Austria, 2021), and Kunhã Strength (Aesop Sydney, Australia, 2020).

The group shows in which she participated include: Ta’ãngaa, os indígenas por eles mesmos (2025), Bienal de Sydney – NIRIN (Australia, 2020), and I Bienal das Amazônias (Belém, 2023), with subsequent presentations in Maranhão (2024) and Colombia (2025). She has received distinctions such as the Prêmio Instituto Tomie Ohtake (2022) and the Prêmio Salão Paranaense – MAC-PR (2020), and took part in the 30th edition of the Programa de Exposições do CCSP (2020).

A eterna dança (2014) marks an inaugural moment in Moara Tupinambá’s trajectory, when she was still signing as “Moara Brasil.” In this work, the artist explores an imagistic universe where body, nature, and cosmos intertwine in continuous movement. The central figure, surrounded by flowers, leaves, and ethereal elements, evokes the ancestral feminine strength that dances between worlds, guiding the gaze toward a spiritual and dreamlike dimension.

This painting expresses the artist’s search for reconnecting with Indigenous memories and the Amazonian landscape, still at the beginning of her artistic journey. The intense colors and material textures reveal an intuitive experimentation that foreshadows central themes in her later production: spirituality, territory, and resistance. Today, this work stands as a sensitive testimony to the origins of her visual poetics.
