Created in 2013, MAHKU (Huni Kuin Artists Movement) began its work by translating traditional songs of the Indigenous Huni Kuin people into figurative drawings. This is the group's first book, including transcriptions of their songs and myths, as well as images of their visual practice.

"Paula's beautiful, ambitious project illuminates forgotten histories, honoring the overlooked." -Andrea K. Scott, The New YorkerThe Brazilian artist Dalton Paula (born 1982) works across painting, installation, photography and sculpture. Drawing on rigorous visual research, he seeks to critically interpret historical events, particularly as they have affected Black people in Brazil-a country that, after Nigeria, contains the second-largest population of African descent. Dalton Paula: Brazilian Portraits showcases a sampling from the portrait series Paula embarked on in 2018, a tribute to the Black Brazilian men and women who fought for freedom and justice over the course of several centuries but have been systematically erased from the country's dominant historical narrative. Through his portraits (one of which-a gripping rendering of the Brazilian slave rebellion leader Zeferina-appears on the cover of the much-acclaimed 2021 volume Afro-Atlantic Histories), Paula provides much-needed dignity, visibility and recognition to these valorous figures.

A fresh view of the acclaimed Brazilian modernist painter through the lens of arte popularItalian-Brazilian artist Alfredo Volpi (1896-1988) was a central figure of Brazilian art in the 20th century. His painting is influenced by both modern and customary traditions, including handcraft, popular parties, religious themes and the facades of Brazilian colonial and vernacular architecture.
