Ugisse Kalapalo decorates a traditional bench in the village of Kalapalo in the Xingu Indigenous Territory. The pattern will symbolise fish, and the work will be sold in the towns he visits. In this way, he is helping to spread the art and culture of the local community beyond the boundaries of the village.

Ugisse Kalapalo dekorerer en tradisjonell benk i landsbyen Kalapalo i urfolksterritoriet Xingu. Mønsteret skal symbolisere fisk, og verket skal selges i byene han besøker. Slik bidrar han til å spre lokalsamfunnets kunst og kultur utenfor landsbyens grenser.
