With the purpose of understanding and interpreting the drawings of the Borum Krenak ethnic group, this article proposes a discussion concerning the concepts given to art guided by the hegemony of the European and North-American Caucasian cultural codes and their own mutations by which these concepts have been gone through since the Modern Age. In order to do so, I bring to analysis the borum drawing chosen by an ethnographic journey through the Krenak territory, at Vale do Rio Doce, Minas Gerais, allied to a theoretical reflection based on the epistemological line based on Weber`s (1864–1920) comprehensive theory and on Geertz`s interpretative anthropology.Downloads
