The Bienal das Amazônias is an unprecedented project that brings together nine countries, as well as several Brazilian states, and focuses on the identity and culture manifested through the contemporary art of Amazonian peoples. Located in a former office building in the center of the capital of Pará, the exhibition seeks to break with the “usual” ways of making art, giving consideration to methods, aesthetics, materials, spaces and narratives from around the Amazon region. Contemporary expressions from Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, Suriname, Guyana, French Guiana and Brazil make up the exhibition, which has free entry.
Bienal das Amazônias On view until November 5, 2023 Open to the public Wednesday to Sunday, 1pm to 7pm. Saturdays, 11am to 8pm Rua Manoel Barata, 400. Comércio. Belém, Pará, Brazil.
