A MISSION, A PLATFORM AND AN AVENUE

www.BrazilianArtists.net mission is to become a platform for Brazilian artists to get promoted and an avenue for connecting people interested in Brazilian culture in the UK, engaging and providing to our audience a vibrant and transforming experience of Brazil, far beyond the usual cliches.

VALUES "If you assume there is no hope, you guarantee that there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, that there are opportunities to change things, then here is a possibility that you can contribute to making a better world. That’s your choice." (Noam Chomsky) We are based on the principle of solidarity. We believe art is an important tool in transforming people's lives. We aim to use our creativity first and foremost to transform everyday reality, not just to make symbolic representations of it.

We are deeply commited to campaigning for social/political awareness through art projects.

All support and services we provide to the artists are free of charge after a nominal membership fee.

We provide operational support to many social projects in Brazil that work with art-education like Projeto Minhoca, Children’s Aid, Moleque de Rua or endangered people like the Kisêdjê in the Xingu Indian Park. We strongly believe that art can help make the world a better place! Now you can help us to make it happen, supporting our work, becoming a sponsor! Please contact us for further info.
