tristes trópicos - Guanabara after Lévi-Strauss, 2026

Oil on wood board

In this series, Cerda is depicting imaginary landscapes of civilisational decay, colonial violence and historic narratives, both hegemonic and erased. Referencing French anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss' journals of his travels across Brazil, the artist juxtaposes conversations between

her embodied memories of South American landscapes and their symbolic destruction by Eurocentric civilisatory paradigms through the canvas.
