Hundreds of independent art spaces were forced to close due to the Corona-crisis. We want to celebrate some artistic events that are right now sitting behind closed doors. This time: This show in the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, Paris, is the largest exhibition to date dedicated to the work of the Swiss-Brasilian photographer and activist Claudia Andujar. For over five decades, she has devoted her life to photographing and protecting the Yanomami, one of Brazil’s largest indigenous groups.
