Lívia Melzi offers a visual investigation about the Western representation of Tupinambá cloaks, originally used in anthropophagic rituals by the Tupi warrior tribes who lived along the Brazilian coast. In doing so, she sheds light on the discourses constructed around these objects, which are today relegated to the reserves of European museums, whilst at the same time bringing together French arts de la table, colonial travel stories and cultural anthropophagy.
