The exhibition features images of rivers, mountains and the people of twelve indigenous communities portrayed by the renowned photographer, shedding light on the largest tropical forest in the world and the urgency of its preservation.
On February 7th, National Indigenous Peoples' Day of Struggle, to expand the debates raised in the exhibition, the Museum of Tomorrow will hold the Amazon Seminar. The event, which will take place from 10 am, in the museum's auditorium, will feature the participation of Sebastião Salgado via video conference, and the presence of artist We'e'ena Tikuna and writer Cristino Wapichana. They will talk about the contribution of artistic narratives and the importance of indigenous leadership for the preservation of the forest. The seminar will be broadcast live on the official Museum of Tomorrow YouTube channel.

Cristino Wapichana, writer, musician, composer, filmmaker and storyteller disseminates, through art, stories, knowledge and heritage of original peoples, reinforcing the importance of the indigenous population for the formation of Brazilian society.
Alongside renowned photographer Sebastião Salgado, they will bring to debate the importance of the struggle of original peoples against epistemicide and genocide that has been perpetuated for so many years in Brazil, the most recent being practiced against the Yanomami people.
