The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum

Shared Threads: Maria Lino’s Portrait of a Shipibo Healer is a collaborative experience where two artists from vastly different cultures and artistic traditions came together in the Amazon region, in Pucallpa, Peru. The results are an extraordinary multi-media integration of tradition, design and technique in a soulful exchange of knowledge, the majority of which occurred over the course of ten intensive days of collecting video footage in Pucallpa. Maria Lino has twice been named a Cintas Fellow and, in 2011, was awarded a Fulbright US Scholar Grant and spent eight months working in Peru on an ongoing series of video portraits; Shared Threads is part of this larger work and includes a selection of Shipibo textiles.
