About Banzeiro da Esperança

Free programming in Belém

Banzeiro da Esperança is a cultural and river expedition that connects riverside communities, Indigenous peoples, quilombola communities, youth groups, and Amazonian leaders on a journey from Manaus to Belém, amplifying the voices of the Amazon to the world in the lead-up to COP30.

Created by Fundação Amazônia Sustentável (FAS) and Virada Sustentável, the project celebrates the power of art, culture, and dialogue as pathways to confront the climate crisis and promote a fairer, more regenerative future.

In Belém, the boat transforms into a floating cultural center, open to the public, with free, diverse, and inclusive programming.

Musical performances, discussion circles, workshops, exhibitions, panels, and educational activities fill the schedule—bringing together art, ancestry, and sustainability in a single flow.

The program also features the special exhibition Amazônia Negra, with two days dedicated to Afro-Amazonian expressions, as well as debates on climate changes, forest-based economies, and the protagonism of local communities.

Banzeiro arrives at COP30 as a living symbol of an Amazon that resists, creates, and proposes solutions.
Join the activities and be part of this journey of hope!
