The work has two moments. A visual moment, where we can observe the images taken from these books on tiles, and divided into themes such as maritime scenes, natives, slavery, Jesuit missions, colonial daily life, maps, portraits and black resistance, and a second moment, Which a Tukano Indian tells a story. Here, a text by Clarisse Meireles contextualizes the story told by the Indian. The artist invites the observer to walk over the tiles as a symbolic act. The school books from which the images were taken are available for viewing at the Carpe Diem library. In the store are for purchase a series of tiles belonging to this series.
