The 44th edition of ARCOmadrid, Spain\u2019s premier contemporary art fair, is set to take place from March 5th to 9th, 2025, at the expansive IFEMA MADRID exhibition center.<\/p>\n This year\u2019s edition turns its gaze to the Amazon. The central curatorial project, titled Wametis\u00e9: Ideas for an Amazofuturism<\/strong><\/em>, is curated by Indigenous artist Denilson Baniwa (from the Brazilian Amazon) and curator Mar\u00eda Wills. This theme invites visitors to imagine new futures through Amazonian cosmologies and contemporary art, reflecting new modes of creation that represent hybrid existences between human, vegetal, physical, and metaphysical bodies.<\/p>\n In the Indigenous languages of the Upper Rio Negro, Wametis\u00e9 roughly means \u201cnamed places\u201d and refers to the creation of the world and the assignment of territories to humanity by a great snake\u200b.<\/strong> In the context of the fair, Wametis\u00e9 becomes a lens through which artists explore ancestral knowledge alongside speculative futures to explore an entangled legacy of nature, technology, and culture.<\/p>\n
