Labverde – Manifesta Arte e Cultura
Art
The organization promotes artistic residencies in the Amazon rainforest, serving as a multidisciplinary platform for the development of critical thinking about nature and ecology. Artists, scientists, and other knowledge agents come together to discuss trends in how science views the Amazon and how to work with these perspectives artistically.
Projects
Immersion and exchange of energies with non-human life forms can be essential to the artistic process. The LABVERDE Artistic Immersion Program in the Amazon involves different actors from art, science, and ecology on a journey enabling different scales and perspectives of the Amazon forest. The experience takes place near Manaus, exploring ecological reserves and visiting impacted forest areas to recognize and narrate nature. Participants attempt to create new ways of existing and interacting with the natural environment and speculate about possible futures.
