2nd Bienal das Amazônias

The 2^nd Bienal das Amazônias, curated by Manuela Moscoso, together with Sara Garzón (assistant curator), Jean da Silva (co-curator of the public program), and Mónica Amieva (pedagogical curator), is structured around the concept of Verde-Distância, an expression taken from the novel Verde Vagomundo, by Pará-born writer Benedicto Monteiro. Works were selected through visits, listening and research in various parts of Brazil, such as Marajó, Amapá, Acre and Boa Vista, as well as across the Pan-Amazonian region, including Guyana, Suriname, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and others.

“Distance is not absence. It is matter. It is a form of relationship that preserves rather than isolates, that allows care without domination and co-presence without fusion. Verde-Distância is also an ethic for listening—an attention to what resists translation, to what moves between bodies and worlds without being captured,” said the curator.

The 2^nd Bienal das Amazônias is open to the public until November 30, 2025.
