Une de nos dernières sérigraphies en collaboration avec Jean Luc Navette, sur la collection Peuples Autochtones.
Sérigraphie en 3 passages de noir et de gris sur les Papous.
En Indonésie, les papous se battent depuis plus de 60 ans pour leur indépendance, en 2022 l’ONU a alerté sur les violences à l’encontre des populations indigènes.

The ceremony is now underway. While the ayahuasca is working, everybody is playing music, singing, and dancing.

It's a real celebration of life. The music, the fire, the dance... everything takes on a surreal aspect. I ask myself if I am dreaming or if it is reality!

(excuse the quality of the photo)

Sérigraphie de la collection Peuples Autochtones, une collaboration avec l'artiste italienne Margherita Paoletti, qui a choisi de faire l'illustration du peuple Palawa, peuple originel de Tasmanie, considéré comme disparu.

Seconde sérigraphie réalisée avec Sergio Aquindo, sur la collection consacrée aux Peuples Autochtones. Celle ci porte sur les peuples nomades de Sibérie. Il existe plus de 26 ethnies différentes, il y a 30 ans 70% de ces ethnies étaient nomades, contre à peine 10% aujourd'hui. Certains de ces peuples sont en voie de disparition. Tirage disponible, format 40x50, 3 passages

The ayahuasca has cooled down and is ready. It's around 8pm, the ceremony will start soon, the medicine man has already set up the altar in the maloca. Sacred and meaningful objects are placed in its centre (tobacco, feather fans, containers, icons...).

I can feel nervousness and excitement in my belly.

It finally starts to look like ayahuasca! The brew is left to simmer and reduce. It gradually takes on its characteristic dark brown colour.

When all the liquid has been drained out, what's left is the fibres of the ayahuasca vines and chacruna leaves.
There's no use for it, and it is discarded.

Once it has boiled for a little while, the brew is left to cool down briefly. The ayahuasca vines and chacruna leaves are separated, filtered out, from the liquid.

Sérigraphie avec deux variantes, en collaboration avec le street artiste Gébraël, pour la collection Peuples Autochtones.
Gébraël a choisi de réaliser l'affiche des Andamanais, peuple vivant dans les îles Andaman, à 800km des côtes indiennes. Certaines de ces îles abritent des tribus non contactés.

The next step consists of adding water to the ayahuasca vines and chacruna leaves and bring it to a boil. Typically, a couple of hours are needed to extract the compounds from the plants.

This is done in the ceremonial maloca where the sacred events and community rituals take place.

Une autre de nos collection de sérigraphie est consacrée aux Peuples Autochtones, en danger et disparus.
Ici c'est la sérigraphie réalisée en collaboration avec l'artiste chilien Tomas Ivès à qui nous avons demandé de faire l'affiche des Selk'nam un des peuples vivant en Terre de Feu. pour creuser https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selknam

When the vines are clean, they are beaten in order to separate the fibres. This will allow the active principles of ayahuasca to infuse the brew.

Next, the bark of the vine is rasped with a knife. This is a tedious step, but a very important one. You want to keep the vine intact while removing anything on the outside that may pollute the brew (lichen, moss...).

Then, collect some chacruna leaves (Psychotria viridis).
Excuse the plastic bag 😅

The first step in preparing ayahuasca is to harvest it. It's easy, it grows everywhere in the rainforest.

Here's a photo of a Huni Kuin medicine man harvesting the vine with a machete.

He's wearing the handwoven vest coat and headband used for sacred occasions. The ceremony has already began!
