Abstract

These notes propose to offer an overview on the current state of the practical-theoretical complex, which deals with the elaboration of a Monument to the Kaiwá and Guaraní Amerindian’s Self-Exile, in an artistic-practical doctoral thesis in Fine Arts, with specialization in Sculpture. The plot seeks to disentangle problematics issues on considering, within the scope of contemporary Western art, elements of indigenous material culture. The process of this endeavor is accompanied by the outline of a utopian perspective, infiltrated by anti-patriarchal, plurinational, biocentric and decolonial tendencies, and synthesized by the ironic-critical notion of «self-exile move
