Karajá "Rite of Passage"
In collaboration with the Institute for the Development of Indian Traditions (IDETI), IN TRANSIT has invited a group of Karajá to Berlin, where their culture will be presented in the Lab, in rituals and discussions. This will pave the way for intercultural exchange on dance, song, rituals, and martial arts, and particularly the culture of laughter – strategies that the Indígenas use to free themselves from cultural isolation. Within IN TRANSIT, this self-aware approach to culture as a means of political emancipation forms the antithesis to the urban club events.
