REPRESENTATIONS OF INDIGENOUS TERRITORIES IN ART AND LAW
Through video, sound and mapping works, the exhibition Intangible Proof at MAGAZIN (Exhibition Space for Contemporary Architecture) explores how the territorialities of the Tagaeri Taromenane can be understood and visualized without violating their right to isolation and how spatial mapping techniques can be rethought to capture ways of living with the forest.
Oral histories, traditional songs, or the practice of dreaming are not considered eligible formats for representing “truth” in human rights courts. When indigenous communities approach judicial fora to safeguard their traditional territory, evidence must be presented to prove their claim. While traditional ties to their land often represent key aspects within the case, they are usually translated to fit the Western legal framework. Two cases brought to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights by Indigenous communities against the state of Ecuador, each denouncing the state’s complicity in natural resource extraction within indigenous territory in the Amazonian rainforest, challenge common practices of evidence production and the representation of truth in indigenous territorial cases.

In the case Pueblo Indígena Kichwa de Sarayaku vs Ecuador (2012), the community’s objective to create presence in the courtroom prompted the Court to visit the indigenous territory. Pueblos Indígenas Tagaeri y Taromenane vs Ecuador is currently pending before the Court—the first case involving indigenous peoples in voluntary isolation, thus refusing any contact with the majority society, upon which the Court will decide. Through video, sound, and mapping works, the exhibition Intangible Proof highlights the difficulties of bringing the values of Indigenous peoples to a Western-oriented court. It explores how Tagaeri Taromenane territorialities can be understood and visualized without violating their right to isolation and how spatial mapping techniques can be rethought to grasp ways of living with the forest.
The exhibition draws from the research of Nina Kolowratnik’s one-year fieldwork in Ecuador, which she conducted in 2022–23 in the framework of her PhD in Law. It features works by Berta Gualinga, Eriberto Gualinga, Nina Valerie Kolowratnik, Sacha Manchi Escuela Ambulante de Cine Comunitario, Ena Santi, Katherine Terán, and with Roberto Narváez and Octavio Cahuiya.
