Menu Mani

A musical dinner organized by the Mani Collective. "We are three artists from Belém do Pará, northern Brazil, in the Amazon region, and we created the Mani Collective to execute projects that address themes related to the Amazon. Currently, we are focusing on musical dinners, in order to bring historical, cultural, ancestral, and current information related to the Amazon, narrated by us, people from that region, seeking to break patterns and avoid a romanticized, colonizing, and exoticizing narration of the reality of that place.

Much is said about the Amazon, but in most cases, those who have never experienced or lived the reality of that place are the ones who are dominating the conversations about the theme. The Amazon region is immense and complex. To understand it, it is necessary to listen to and experience its different realities. The Mani Collective arises from this need to address this complexity.

With the format we have chosen for our project, a musical dinner, we propose meetings that will enable the participants to have an experience of acquiring knowledge through a non-institutionalized and non-hierarchical format of sharing information, a slow and collective format.”
