Sheroanawe Hakihiiwe: Opening Reception

Drawings on handmade paper, paintings and site-specific installations explore the Amazonian environment and Yanomami knowledge through the work of Sheroanawe Hakihiiwe. An opening reception takes place Thursday, November 19, at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami in the Miami Design District. Organized with the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, the exhibition is the Venezuelan artist’s first U.S. solo museum presentation, bringing together more than 100 works spanning three decades.

Hakihiiwe draws on plants, animals, forest markings and oral histories to develop compositions rooted in Yanomami perspectives. The exhibition includes a new large-scale mural, an animated film and books from his ongoing Yanomami Encyclopedia, a project documenting knowledge gathered in consultation with other shamans.

RSVP is available through ICA Miami’s event page. The exhibition remains on view through March 28, 2027.
