Amazonian cultural platform
Circulation and internationalization
We articulate markets, exchanges, institutions, festivals and dissemination strategies to expand the presence of Amazonian artists and projects in Brazil and abroad.
To circulate is not only to arrive somewhere else.It means building conditions to remain in new networks.
More than displacement
Taking a work or an artist to another territory is only one part of the process.
Cultural circulation also involves positioning, materials preparation, technical adequacy, communication, institutional articulation, logistics, recording and follow-up of contacts made.
When these dimensions are organized, a one-off participation can generate new opportunities for dissemination, exchange, training, co-production or cooperation.
Forms of insertion
Environments for presentation, negotiation, relationship building and opportunity creation among cultural agents.
Spaces for presentation, dissemination, exchange and connection with programmers, curators and audiences.
Experiences of artistic, pedagogical, cultural and institutional exchange among groups, artists and territories.
Research, training, creation or development processes linked to specific institutions and calls.
Use of documentaries, records and content to expand circulation beyond physical presence.
Institutional relations that can generate follow-ups, co-production, training, support, exchange or circulation.
Readiness for circulation
Insertion in markets, festivals and programs requires the project to communicate clearly what it is, how it works, what technical conditions it has and what type of connection it seeks.
Definition of the project’s identity, differentiator and cultural context.
Portfolio, synopsis, records, images, videos, technical sheet and institutional information.
Clarity about work, language, audience, duration, needs and adaptation possibilities.
Space, equipment, team, setup, accessibility and operational requirements.
Schedule, budget, travel, lodging, meals, documentation and possible funding sources.
Languages, oral presentation, materials suited to the interlocutor and follow-up of contacts.
Documentation of the action, organization of results and maintenance of relations started.
From opportunity to development
Identification of markets, programs, festivals, calls, institutions and territories related to the project.
Organization of materials, positioning, documentation and presentation conditions.
Registration, selection, participation, institutional presentation or entry into the market environment.
Meetings, rounds, listening, proposal presentation and understanding each interlocutor’s interests.
Analysis of resources, documents, logistics, schedule, responsibilities and action conditions.
Recording of contacts, response, negotiation, delivery, evaluation and building of possible developments.
A meeting only becomes an opportunity when there is follow-up, compatibility and viability.
Proven track record
JA’s international insertion was developed from territorial production, Dança Carajás Festival, creative markets, the exchange in Argentina and public circulation policies.
Participation in Mercado das Indústrias Criativas da Argentina, representing North Region dance and expanding Pará production’s presence in Latin American circuits.
Insertion in the Brazilian creative market, relationship building with sector agents and later development in audiovisual dissemination.
Delivery of the exchange, connecting artistic circulation, training, recording and audiovisual production.
1st place at MICBR 2025 in the Dance category — North Region / Senior Seller, business rounds and selection linked to Brasil Conexões Internacionais for cultural circulation in France.
Exchange completed
Dançando Além das Fronteiras consolidated a circulation experience that integrated artistic presentation, training, cultural exchange, institutional articulation and audiovisual production. The project was developed from the connections built by JA and the Dança Carajás ecosystem.
Presentations and sharing of works in Argentine cultural contexts.
Exchange among artists, professionals, schools, institutions and training experiences.
Educational activities, workshops, immersive experiences and contact with other methodologies.
Institutional and cultural relations between Brazil and Argentina.
Production of memory and audiovisual documentation that extended the project’s useful life.
Market and articulation
Participating in markets makes it possible to present projects, understand demands, identify compatibilities and start conversations with agents from different fields and territories. The value of participation is not only in the number of meetings, but in the quality of follow-ups and subsequent monitoring.
Participation in Mercado das Indústrias Criativas da Argentina expanded the visibility of Pará dance and contributed to building Dançando Além das Fronteiras.
Selection in Edital MinC nº 3/2025 and 1st place in the Dance category — North Region / Senior Seller consolidated JA’s presence in the national creative economy circuit.
The institutions below took part in the rounds. They are not presented as consolidated partnerships. Each relationship remains at its own follow-up stage.
Circulation in public policy
An artist linked to the Dança Carajás ecosystem was selected under a federal public policy for cultural internationalization for circulation in France in 2025. The selection expanded the representation of the North Region in international circuits and strengthened JA’s institutional connection with the circulation of Amazonian dance.
The trajectory begins with an artist recognized in the Dança Carajás environment.
Insertion through the Brasil Conexões Internacionais program, according to portfolio documentation.
Presence of the North Region in an international dance circuit.
Institutional accompaniment, communication, positioning and connection with the French context.
Biennale de la Danse de Lyon appears in the portfolio as a reference for the circulation context. That does not mean JA produced the Biennale, that Dança Carajás officially took part in the full program, or that the producer was selected as a company.
View results and verificationsRelations at different stages
Markets and exchanges can generate relations at different stages. Some result in completed actions; others remain proposals, exploratory contacts or opportunities in development.
Project, participation, exhibition, circulation or completed activity.
Agreement, selection, partnership or documented commitment.
Proposal presented or conversation with next steps still unfinished.
Initial contact without formal commitment.
Transparency about the stage of relations strengthens institutional credibility.

For organizations interested in exchange, cooperation, content, training or territorial articulation.
For institutions seeking to meet artists, projects and cultural initiatives from Amazônia.
