MANAUS, Brazil, Sep 24 (IPS) - Dhiani Pa'saro
came to Manaus, the bustling city of 1.7 million people in the heart of
Brazil’s Amazon rainforest, eight years ago, after wandering from one
village or town to another. At the time he planned to become a dentist,
but at 33 he is now a renowned artist.
Pa'saro is one of 14
indigenous people who have studied painting and marquetry (decorative
patterns made of inlays) at the Dirson Costa Institute of Amazonian Art
and Culture (IDC), which has already built up a collection of 800 works
by these artists for the founding collection of the Museu de Arte e
Imaginário da Amazônia (MAIA, Museum of Amazon Art and Imaginary).
