Isaias, who describes himself as an “Indian of the Patamona ethnic group”, says art is a tool in the fight to educate the world about indigenous communities, “to respect the food, the music, the forest, the way of living and the way of transforming and valuing the forest, water and the future of the planet.”

To create his art, Isaias searches the city and surrounding areas for raw materials to reclaim and recycle, often using abandoned logs, doors, windows and furniture.

“Many [indigenous people] have been erased, but those who are here today are in a struggle, in ‘a war’, so that people can access knowledge about the culture of indigenous peoples,” says Isaias Miliano, an indigenous visual artist in Boa Vista, Brazil.

“We use art to make our demands. We use art to do our activism, to make our struggle count and to be heard where people have never heard of us.”
