[Early Bird] (Monday - Thursday) All Access Pass (Permanent Galleries + Sebastião Salgado: Amazônia)
Instant confirmation
Free cancellation
Amazônia is a major exhibition by the award-winning photographer Sebastião Salgado (b. 1944, Brazil). It spotlights the Amazon region and its ecosystems coming under the threat of deforestation and climate change, while featuring the voices, portraits, and perspectives of the Indigenous communities who live in – and with – the largest rainforest on the planet.
This multisensory and immersive exhibition, curated and designed by Lélia Wanick Salgado, comprises over 200 photographs, a soundtrack by Jean-Michel Jarre, two projection rooms, video testimonies from Indigenous leaders, tactile image plates for the visually impaired, and a space dedicated to Instituto Terra, the reforestation non-governmental organisation founded by the Salgados. Amazônia powerfully demonstrates the beauty and majesty of the Amazon region, while issuing an important call to protect and conserve what has been called the “lung of the world”.
Advisory
Amazônia is an exhibition about the Amazonian rainforest and the way of life of its Indigenous people. The exhibition features photographic artworks with male and female nudity, and contains some content, including imagery of dead animals, that some visitors might find challenging.
Visitor discretion is advised.
The gallery is dimly lit, with artworks installed throughout the exhibition space. Please exercise caution.
