In the year that marks the centenary of the anthropophagic movement, inaugurated in the week of modern art, the current scenario concerning violations of the rights of indigenous peoples is intriguing. Indigenous peoples in Brazil have suffered and continue to suffer numerous violations concerning their cultures, organizations, territories, and bodies. The historical marks left during the years of national formation solidified in Brazilian society from a dominant perspective of cultural, economic, and legal bias contrary to indigenous peoples. In this sense, the objective of the present investigation is to analyze the viability of the anthropophagic movement as a perspective that favors the consolidation of indigenous rights in Brazil, considering the articulation between law and art. Thus, the hypothesis is that: through the possibilities of implications between law and art, the anthropophagic movement reveals itself as an instrument for resizing the struggle for the rights of indigenous peoples in Brazil. The methodological structure instrumentalizes the potential of the arts as a way of questioning and materializing demands.
