In the swing of the waters of its rivers and streams, we find the native peoples and their traditions. In this journey, we are invited to reflect on the influences of these cultures in our lives: how much we resist or allow ourselves to be transformed by them; and we end up in the meeting between traditional knowledge and science.

Vale and Vale Cultural Institute have the immense joy of being part of this union between Amazonian times: on display at the Museu do Amanhã, which now reaches the digital environment, and in the actions that the company has carried out for more than three decades to contribute to the preservation of the Amazon, foster the bioeconomy and invest in research to scale up initiatives that value and respect the standing forest, the knowledge and practices of its people.

May this journey through the times, sounds, and colors of the forest, guided by the vision of institutions that embrace sustainable development, inspire new reflections on our relationship with the planet. And that we return from it ready for changes that can be translated into more care for the environment that surrounds us and that welcomes us since always and from now on.

Enjoy the exhibition!
