  • YAKUMAMA, THE GATE KEEPER: an art installation by ARTE AMAZONIA at the 4th International Market of the People held at the Ethnology Museum im Vienna

"It's rare to see students so focused (for nearly two hours), which was due to the exciting, highly professional quality of the workshop presented by Heiko Dittmer of ARTE AMAZONIA. In a child-friendly manner, he  shared with us fascinating stories, introduced and played never seen before musical instruments, adorned them with South American indigenous objects, and the highlight was the tasting of all kinds of exotic delicacies. From the perspective of the teachers, the message regarding our responsibility towards the environment and endangered cultures did not fall short. This program covers not only the context of environmental education, but, it is also recommended for geography, music, and social studies. -A raw Amazon encounter!"
