%X This article focuses on the global traffic in images relating to Kadiw¨¦u culture in South America, analysing the extent to which they are entangled in the group¡¯s continuing sense of presence. It begins with Kadiw¨¦u designs as they appeared in the sketchbook of the artist¨Cexplorer Guido Boggiani in the late 19th century. It then explores the mapping of Kadiw¨¦u territory and the practices and protocols informing a politics of land rights, cultural property and economic survival, looking in particular at the commissioning of Kadiw¨¦u designs for a housing estate and an associated exhibition in Berlin early in the 21st century. By developing a cross-cultural history of Kadiw¨¦u art that considers the transnational networks across different times and spaces, including the case of a transcultural history of copyright, the article seeks to contribute to the ongoing re-thinking of the colonial visual archive and its afterlife
