Libros is a dedicated space at Xapiri Ground for books, reading, and conversations with authors. Through the publications and people we host, we explore the histories, cultural practices, and contemporary realities of the Amazon and its Indigenous peoples. Here, we share featured books, author visits, and reflections that offer deeper context for the art and ideas encountered throughout the house.
We believe in long term relationship building with individuals and their communities who have consented to sharing their knowledge with us and the public. As multi-generational migrants, locals and foreigners, we seek to nurture a mutual understanding of the realities, ancestral and present, with our Indigenous collaborators through our practice in order to create didactic audio, visual and written representations of their ancestral knowledge for the benefit of the Indigenous people. Below is an open work of this documentation.
