“I sell canvas, I buy land” is the motto of the MAHKU collective, artists from the Huni Kuin ethnic group living in the Amazon region between Peru and Brazil: they sell their work, created under the influence of ayahuasca, to buy land around their village in order to protect it from deforestation. They were commissioned to create a large mural on the façade of the Giardini della Biennale. Meanwhile, their home region was struck by severe flooding in early March 2024.
