Gustavo Caboco (1989) is a visual artist that through drawing, text, embroidery and sound, works with ways of dialoguing with his contemporary Wapichana identity and the preservation of the memory of his native culture. Gustavo works with his mother Lucilene Wapichana (1958)from the Canauanim indigenous territory in Brazil.
Ela me visitou, 2021
Ela me visitou is an installation based on knowledge that Gustavo’s grandmother passed on to his mother through dreams. The work encompasses the field of memory, cotton medicine, encounters between cotton flower and industrial cotton thread and the multiplication of indigenous voices.
