One of the most pronounced artistic themes here is a play with scale, a making of little things big and big things little, which has obvious political implications as these artists assert the Indigenous presence. Yet if art has some power to sway that speeches do not it is with its emphatic physicality on the one hand and its subtle evocations on the other.

Indigenous Brazilian drag artist Uyra contributes a series of forest photographs in which they pose in arresting costumes. Its themes are what you might expect: Nobody here thinks colonialism, territorial expropriation or the destruction of natural habitat are good things. The exhibition, which finally opened last week and was also organized by Noor Alé of the Power Plant and the Brazilian curator Nina Vincent, identifies four subject areas: contact zones, land relations, traditional knowledge and Indigenous world views. Then organizers began planning a show addressing those issues, but the results were delayed because of the pandemic. Led by the Indigenous curator Gerald McMaster of the Ontario College of Art and Design University (where the students helped paint those murals), the exhibition began with a 2019 symposium discussing similarities between Indigenous issues in North and South America despite their very different climates. The Peruvian artists are participating in an exhibition entitled Arctic/Amazon, a group show of work by 11 Indigenous artists from the circumpolar regions of Canada, the United States, Finland and Norway and from the Amazonian regions in Peru, Brazil and Venezuela. There’s not much leadership at the Power Plant these days – after the departure of long-time director Gaetane Verna in September and the resignation of the board in a dispute with Harbourfront Centre – but there sure is a lot of art. The song describes the patterns, which in their origins also emerged from song. The patterns are larger versions of ones on Silvano’s beaded headband, necklace and skirt, and in the ochre body paint on her bare legs. She has travelled to Toronto with colleagues Wilma Maynas and Ronin Koshi to create three large murals with the help of local art students, works that combine a forest of black-and-white pathways with bursts of hot colours and passages of ochre. Silvano is Indigenous, from the Shipibo-Konibo people of the Amazon, although she now lives in Lima where she’s a community activist.
