After the loss of the original spiritual contexts during the colonization period, indigenous peoples around the world revive parts of their cultural heritage. They also find inspiration in foreign cultural traditions. Next generations develop new ways to connect to the ancestors and search for new healing practices, contemporary artists are inspired by spiritual healing and renew its meaning in the present. This publication, accompanying the exhibition ‘HEALING POWER - Winti, shamanism, and more in Wereldmuseum Leiden (July 12 -Jan. 5, 2020), explores a limited selection of the manifold collective and individual healing practices.
