Exhibition honors Amazon defenders and program offers free art workshop in Belém

Exhibition honors defenders of the Amazon Disclosure Starting this Thursday (10), the public will be able to visit, in Belém, the exhibition "Amazonian Peoples Don't Die, They Turn into Seeds", which brings together paintings in honor of Amazonian characters who defended the forest and their ways of life. The program also includes a free art workshop. Signed by visual artist Rafael Prado, the exhibition proposes a reflection on memory, resistance and continuity in the Amazon using paintings inspired by leaders and characters who marked the history of the region. The exhibition will be open for visits until October 9th, with accessibility features and free mediated visits for schools, universities, cultural groups and other institutions by appointment. On Saturday (12), Rafael Prado also teaches the workshop "Collecting Memories: Fleeting and Artistic Collage Workshop". The activity invites participants to experiment with drawing and collage techniques to explore textures and reliefs present in everyday life, stimulating new ways of observing and representing the territory. 20 places are offered for participants aged 15 and over, with materials provided by the organization. The program is part of the celebrations for Banco da Amazônia's 84th anniversary, celebrated on July 9th, and will be held at the Banco da Amazônia Cultural Center, located on Avenida Presidente Vargas, in the center of Belém.
