En partenariat avec l’Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, la Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain présente la première exposition personnelle de l’artiste Sheroanawe Hakihiiwe au sein d’une institution majeure aux États-Unis.
Né en 1971 à Sheroana, au Venezuela, et vivant aujourd’hui dans la communauté de Poripori, au cœur de l’Amazonie vénézuélienne, Sheroanawe Hakihiiwe développe une œuvre profondément ancrée dans son environnement et dans la culture yanomami. Puisant leur inspiration dans les motifs de la forêt, les traces, rythmes et formes de la flore et de la faune amazoniennes, les œuvres de Sheroanawe Hakihiiwe célèbrent la richesse du patrimoine culturel et spirituel yanomami.
La collection de la Fondation Cartier comprend un ensemble important d’œuvres de l’artiste, présentées dans plusieurs expositions internationales, parmi lesquelles Les Vivants au Tri Postal de Lille (2022), The Yanomami Struggle à The Shed à New York (2023). Ce projet illustre l’engagement commun de la Fondation Cartier et de l’Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, envers le monde naturel, ainsi que leur désir mutuel d’intégrer les questions écologiques au centre de leurs propositions artistiques.
Indigenous artist Sheroanawe Hakihiiwe is recognised for his drawings and paintings that explore the ancestral traditions and identity of Yanomami culture. Often made with handmade paper crafted from native fibres, Hakihiiwe’s works reflect on the cultural and social practices of his native tribe. In 2022, they were included in the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, The Milk of Dreams.



In 1984, at the suggestion of the artist César, Alain Dominique Perrin, President of Cartier International at the time, established the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain. At once a creative space for artists and a place for the general public to encounter art, the Fondation Cartier is dedicated to promoting and raising public awareness of contemporary art.
