XETÁ
Set of prints made as a form of denunciation of the extinction process of the Xetás indigenous community, who inhabited Paraná, a region in southern Brazil.
In the 20th century, their population numbered around 450 individuals, but in the 1940s, during the coffee boom, they were expelled and exterminated from their territory. By 1999, only 8 survivors of the ethnicity remained.
