In 2017 we held the Cultural Exchange in the City of Porto, in Portugal. There we were able to develop various activities in partnership with the Abel Salazar Institute of Biomedical Science (ICBAS) at the University of Porto, whose mission is to create, transmit and disseminate knowledge in the area of life sciences and health.
Among the events we participated in, we highlight the VII day of Integrated Phytotherapy, in which several workshops and lecture cycles addressed topics such as Forest Medicine (medicinal plants of traditional Amazonian herbal medicine), History and Clinical Application of Mushroom Nutrition, Chinese Classical Formulas , the culture of the people of the Amazon, awareness of environmental issues, among others.
We contributed with lectures given by our creator, Eduardo Pizaroli, and by Pajé Txaná Ixã, from Ni Yuxibu village (Acre). We also organized a photographic exhibition at the Museu Nacional Soares dos Reis as a way to get recognition of our cause through art and aesthetics.
In 2017 our creator, Eduardo Pizaroli, participated in the panel of speakers at the International Water Seminar, an annual event that in this edition was held by the Brazilian Association of Water Resources.
The seminar brings together international guests on the theme of water: its ways of capturing, treating, distributing, losses and scarcity.
With the intention of raising awareness about the importance of Águas da Amazônia, Eduardo reiterated the functioning of the “Flying Rivers”, which are essential for the continuity of the rains in the Midwest and Southeast regions of Brazil.
The Water Project was also presented, developed as a pilot project in the village of Ni Yuxibu (Acre) as a way of providing the community with drinking water and ending a series of diseases and accidents resulting from the use of water in the Taruacá River.
In 2019 we were invited to participate in the release of the album Opará, by artist Héloa, in a cultural event focused on African and indigenous roots.
Together with Pajé Txaná Kixtin and a group from the Huni Kuin ethnic group (Acre), we took the stage at the Auditorium of Ibirapuera Oscar Niemeyer to present ancient songs and dances with the purpose of spreading the indigenous traditions that are part of the pluralism of our country.
That same day we were accompanied by the Group of Free Women, the group Sabuká Kariri-Xocó, the group Kayatibu, Webster Santos, Zé Nigro, Ledji Luna, Aruan Kaiowa and Kapaí Kalapalo.
The expression “Ordem e Progresso” in the Brazilian flag is an abbreviated form of the positivist motto formulated by the French philosopher Auguste Comte “Love by principle and Order by basis; Progress at last ”.
The positivist ideology presupposes the maintenance of respect between human beings and appeared as a counterpart to the social chaos left by the French Revolution.
The phrase "Love, Order and Progress" is an invitation to rethink individualism and connect with the look of inclusion. It takes us to a position where there is more representation of minorities and the forgotten, a category in which Brazilian indigenous peoples unfortunately still find themselves.
In 2018, we were able to participate in an intervention at Cristo Redentor (Rio de Janeiro), where the national flag was designed with the words “Love, Order and Progress”.
With the presence of Pajé Txaná Ixã (Huni Kuin - Acre ethnicity), the event was an opportunity to remember the connection that exists between all the peoples and beliefs of Brazil and the world.
On this same day we planted Pau-Brasil seedlings in the Botanical Garden of Rio de Janeiro, in a symbolic ceremony permeated with sacred dances and songs. This action was a way of drawing attention to the relationship of exploitation that has been established between the Brazilian people and the forest since the arrival of the colonizers in Terra Brasilis.
