Abstract

In a remote conversation, Denilson discusses how he considers himself a shaman based on his experience of translating the Baniwa world for white people—accessing white art and the white world, but without definitively becoming one of us—occupying precisely the space between. He plays the role of diplomat and mediator, facing the powers and dangers, the pains and delights of this task—just like a shaman, communicating worlds. He also considers himself an art hacker, reinterpreting a certain idea of hacker acquired during his studies in Computer Science in Manaus, Amazonas state, an experience that is significant in his works, commonly constructed from interventions in images of colonization.
