Sheroanawe Hakihiiwe is an indigenous Yanomami artist who lives and works between Caracas and Platanal, Venezuela. Since the 1990s, Hakihiiwe has developed a visual language that traces and memorialises indigenous landscapes, cosmogony, and ancestral traditions. ‘Ihirama’ means “drought” in Yanomami. This risograph-printed publication, which reflects on the profound significance of drought for his community, features Hakihiiwe’s intricate drawings and a trilingual text. As he aims to recover the oral memory of his people, Hakihiiwe’s works disrupt the linear framework of time by allowing motifs of the past and present to coexist with imagined futures.
