Description: AMERÍNDIOS DO BRASIL is a collection of art and photography books of each Brazilian indigenous ethnic group. The first book in the collection is dedicated to the Yawalapíti, an indigenous tribe in the Amazonian river. Renato Soares has sought to rescue, through his photography, the best in their ancestral culture. Soares began his photography career in the late 1980s and, since then, has taken trips to portray the different forms of cultural expression of Brazilian indigenous ethnic groups. The identification with the indigenous universe comes from childhood, and was consolidated in the first contacts with tribes in remote areas of the Amazon and, also, through the deep friendship that he maintained with the sertanista Orlando Villas-Bôas. This work aims at the creation and construction of a large Brazilian ethnographic collection.
