Exploring power of female ecosystem. Andujar has documented the culture of the Yanomami over the years.The Yanomami had little contact with the outside world.

During the 1980s an influx of illegal gold miners led to an outbreak of malaria and mercury poisoning. Twenty percent of the Yanomami population died.

The artis played an important role in establishing the Commission for the Creation of the Yanomami Park which led to the Brazilian government establishing a 96,000 square km protected area.
