Welcome to
CURA is a large-scale work of immersive ritual art co-created with Indigenous guardian communities of the Amazon. It unfolds across three physical environments—Portal, Dome, and Hammock—guiding visitors progressively deeper into a nonverbal encounter with the forest through architecture, sound, vibration, and collective presence.
