Ayahuasca: A Vine of the Dead in the Heart of the Peruvian Amazon

Ayahuasca, whose name literally means "vine of the dead" in Quechua, is a hallucinogenic substance that has garnered increasing interest in the Western world in recent decades. However, long before its popularization by the Beat Generation, ayahuasca played a central role in the lives of indigenous societies in Western Amazonia. Traditionally ingested in a shamanic setting, this mystical beverage was used for therapeutic, divinatory, and healing purposes.

But ayahuasca is not limited to its psychedelic effects. It is also closely linked to the artistic creation of the indigenous peoples of the Peruvian Amazon. The visions and hallucinations it induces have long been a major source of inspiration for these artists, profoundly influencing their works in a mystical way.

A Journey into the World of "Visionary Images"

The "SHAMANIC VISIONS" exhibition offers an unprecedented journey into the "visionary images" inspired by ayahuasca. You will discover an incredible diversity of contemporary representations of these visions, reflecting the richness and depth of Amazonian culture.

The Iconography of the Shipibo-Konibo People

Among the highlights of the exhibition, the geometric and refined iconography of the Shipibo-Konibo people takes center stage. Their artistic creations are imbued with ayahuasca visions, and you will be amazed by the precision and beauty of their patterns, evoking the connection between humans and nature.

Literary and Audiovisual Productions

Art inspired by ayahuasca extends beyond painting or sculpture. The exhibition also explores literary and audiovisual productions that have emerged in the 20th and 21st centuries. You will discover how renowned artists such as William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg were influenced by ayahuasca visions in their literary work. Additionally, the exhibition will highlight the visionary cinema of Jan Kounen, who explored psychedelic experiences through his films.
