With an inventory of 6,311 words, the Kaiowá-Portuguese bilingual dictionary serves as a repository of the Kaiowá people’s worldview, culture, imagination, and thought. The work has been in development for more than two decades by Professor Dr. Graciela Chamorro (UFGD), in collaboration with dozens of Indigenous and non-Indigenous individuals and researchers. The graphic project combines a rational structure with a range of features that bring the book to life: saturated colors, generously sized typography, and a large number of illustrations and graphic elements placed among the entries. On the cover, corn – a plant of great spiritual and ritual significance to the Kaiowá culture – appears alongside the entry ka’agwa (from the forest, from the woods, wild), encapsulating the work and introducing the reader to its internal lexicographic structure.
The book measures 15.7×22.7 cm, and has a total of 760 pages. The illustrations were created by Misael Concianza Jorge and Jaciara Marschner.
