Abstract

In this paper I analyse some drawings and graphic practices realized by the South American Indians Wayãpi of French Guyana. The purpose here is to explore the communicative and metamorphic patterns that define this esthetical practice. To do so ethnographic examples of practices and uses of these body paintings and drawings made by members of the wayãpi population are analysed.
