Gallery

Art mobilizes, moves, and sensitizes. Artistic expressions humanize and ground discussions in the territory. They update imaginaries, break stereotypes, and reveal the complexity of the Amazon. Opening spaces for artistic manifestations and for the artists themselves is part of the initiative’s way of being and expressing itself, seeking to connect the technical and the sensitive, showing that this is not only possible but necessary and urgent. The Amazon Gallery is a space created and cared for with this purpose: to (re)present the Amazon through different perspectives and techniques.

Paulo Desana

Filmmaker, visual artist and photographer Paulo Desana believes photography is a way of making visible abstract dimensions that are difficult to express in visual art: the knowledge, memory and permanence of indigenous peoples. The Amazonian artist of Desana ethnicity seeks to construct images that reveal the living presence of ancestral knowledge.
