The exhibition presents the Indigenous arts and creative practices of Amazonia through 450 objects (artifacts, adornments, painting, photography, audiovisual works, etc.), approached from a contemporary and cultural perspective that foregrounds Indigenous viewpoints. It challenges stereotypical Western representations of Amazonian peoples, revealing a rich cultural diversity and a continuity between ancestral traditions and present-day creations.

In dialogue with the collections of the musée du quai Branly, contemporary Indigenous works question the boundary between ethnographic art and contemporary art.

The exhibition design adopts an intimate and immersive approach, avoiding exotification in favor of an Indigenous point of view. The linear visitor pathway, punctuated by distinct atmospheres, moves from a sensory immersion toward a generous staging of Amazonian plurality.

Natural materials, subtle lighting, and restrained use of color accompany visitors through a nuanced, multisensory exploration, where delicate objects and contemporary works enter into dialogue within a living cultural landscape.

Roll co-designed the exhibitions Amazônia and Africa Fashion, integrating from the earliest design phase a strategy that enabled 75 percent reuse of elements from one exhibition to the other. A significant proportion of the glass and display cases also comes from the museum’s existing inventory, supporting a sustainable approach. In addition, the straight partition walls are composed of modular elements, reused for each new exhibition.
