ABSTRACT
Although illegal and punishable by law, racism remains a common feature of Brazilian society. Most discussions on racism concentrate on Afro-descendants, who constitute a large proportion of Brazilian population. Yet, Indigenous peoples are also frequent victims of racism, which manifests itself not only in open violence against them (such as invasions of territory, assassinations, mutilations) but also on everyday attitudes and actions. This chapter will look at how racism is represented in contemporary Indigenous visual art. It will focus on the works of artists Denilson Baniwa and Jaider Esbell.
