Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain brings Sheroanawe Hakihiiwe to ICA Miami

Presented in partnership with the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain, Sheroanawe Hakihiiwe brings together more than 100 works, including pieces from the Fondation Cartier’s collection. 

One of Venezuela’s most internationally recognized contemporary artists, Hakihiiwe is a member of the Yanomami people, one of the largest Indigenous communities in the Amazon. He grew up and continues to live in Poripori, a remote community along the upper Orinoco River. 

His work explores the interconnectedness of all living things while highlighting the vulnerability of Indigenous cultures and knowledge. As he explained in 2023: “Everything you can see is beautiful, but it’s all at risk of disappearing, including my family, my community, the language we speak, and everything I know in the forest.” 

Co-curated by Gean Moreno, Director of ICA Miami’s Art + Research Center, and Michela Alessandrini, Curator at the Fondation Cartier, the exhibition builds on the institutions’ successful collaboration on Olga de Amaral’s retrospective, first presented in Paris in 2024 before traveling to ICA Miami in 2025. Both projects reflect the two institutions’ shared commitment to representing the significance of human relationships to the environment in their programs.
