Collectives from Belém do Pará (Brazil) and Berlin (Germany) come together to share their knowledges and experiences in the struggle for climate and environmental justice. Through images, videos, visual records, and other forms of storytelling, they aim to strengthen their collective practices in communication, art, journalism, and critical research. Rooted in decolonial, feminist, and collaborative methodologies, these exchanges are part of their preparation for the COP30 – the UN Climate Change Conference that will take place in the Brazilian Amazon, in the city of Belém in November 2025. Together, they will create cultural tools that challenge dominant narratives. The evening will close with music, weaving Belém’s carimbó with Berlin’s electronic soundscapes.
The contributing collectives are COP das Baixadas, Tapajós de Fato, Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST), Refuge Worldwide Radio, Unbias the News, and Debt for Climate.
Territories of Knowledges is based on a proposal by Barbara Marcel and Camila Nobrega commissioned and supported by Spore Initiative. It is based on a research trip in 2024 and will be facilitated by Marcel and Nobrega in collaboration with Spore Initiative until the end of 2025.
