Claudia Andujar

Claudia Andujar (1931) is a photographer of Hungarian origin, born in Switzerland and a naturalized Brazilian citizen. Her career as a photographer spans more than 60 years, dedicated to photojournalism and to activism for the cause of the Yanomami Indians in the Amazon, in cooperation with the Commission for the Creation of the Yanomami Park (CCPY).
The contact triggered by colonization of the already inhabited lands of the “New World” incentivized the disintegration of many peoples. It also brought about the establishment of figures of expression and strategies such as anthropophagy.
