Notebook featuring Sin título (Untitled) by Santiago Yahuarcani. Exclusively produced to accompany the brand new exhibition Santiago Yahuarcani: The Beginning of Knowledge at the Whitworth - as part of Manchester International Festival.

The Beginning of Knowledge is the first international solo exhibition of works by Santiago Yahuarcani – artist, Indigenous activist and leader of the Aimeni (White Heron) clan of the Uitoto people.

Yahuarcani’s paintings are rooted in the history of the Uitoto Nation, the memories of his ancestors, and the ecosystem of the Amazon rainforest. From portrayals of Uitoto origin stories to memories of the enslavement of the Uitoto people during the Putumayo genocide (1879-1912), the works honour and preserve intergenerational knowledge and invite us to consider how Indigenous knowledge can shape a more just and interconnected future.
