Our artist will be for this class is Joseca Mokahesi Yanomami.
Yanomami was born in 1971 in the Brazilian Amazon. Son of a shaman, Joseca shares the
ancestral knowledge and cosmology of the Yanomami through his drawings – embodying the
ancient times and multiple dimensions of the Yanomani land and forest. Shamanic rituals,
which communicate between humans and the “xapiri” (spirits), are central themes in his work.
After looking at his drawings we will make our own in colored pencil only celebrating the
wonder and beauty of trees and forests. This will be especially meaningful in this season of
autumnal change and color.
