* EN / During #COP30, in Belém, i asked artist Marina Kayapó to make me a "Ôk" painting. It's a body graphic made by the Mebêngôkre people, which is how the Kayapó indigenous people, located between the states of Pará and Mato Grosso (Brasil), name themselves. The ink is made from the mixture of a fruit called "jenipapo", along with coal and saliva, applied to the skin with a rod of the Inajá palm tree. It lasts between 7 and 15 days on the body.. and has several line patterns. The graphics can be related to parties, rituals.. such as funerals and birth, as well as wars, fishing, trips into the forest, etc. But on a daily basis, they serve to beautify and ensure protection.
