On the occasion of the exhibition « Claudia Andujar. The Yanomami Struggle » at Fondation Cartier in Paris, Les Inrocks met with three key protagonists of the show and asked them to speak about their involvment in the struggle.
Chief chaman and international spokesperson of the Yanomami people Davi Kopenawa is our last guest for this episode part of a series of three podcasts. Born in 1956, met Claudia Andujar as he was still young. He would become a prime witness of the disastrous consequences brought about by the opening of the Amazonian forest starting in the mid-1970s, which became prey to the
trade interests of non-Indigenous people lured by the immense riches of the Yanomami land. Protected by the government, they went on to deforest, plunder and slaughter on a land that till then was enjoying a self-sufficient life in harmony with fauna and flora. Since then, Davi Kopenawa has been traveling throughout the planet to help raise awareness to his people's fate, as he accepted to do with us as well.
