🎭 Long Live Culture

When Art Embraces, Exclusion Recedes

In Marajó, where so many voices have been silenced by poverty, violence and abandonment, the Viva Cultura project emerges as a cry for life, color and belonging.


Created by the Maria Bonitona Institute, the project promotes access to art, music, dance and cultural expressions that make the heart of our region beat. Culture is not a luxury. It is a right, it is healing, it is inclusion. And when a child goes on stage, a young person learns to play an instrument or a woman sees herself represented on the drum or in the theater... ✨ A new story begins to be told.
