We are part of the biosphere and we cultivate the understanding of life as a web of interconnections.

At Selvagem, a study cycle about life, we offer wayfindings of study on various topics through dialogue between indigenous, scientific, philosophical, and knowledge of other species since 2018. These studies unfold in notebooks, audiovisual materials, workshops, conversations, and exhibitions, always free of charge to the public.
Our actions aim to support a network of Living Schools, indigenous centres for the transmission of knowledge, ensuring a monthly transfer of 8,000 reais to each Living School and creating joint actions. This entire movement seeks to contribute to alternative educational pathways, imagining regenerative and non-destructive ways of being in the world.
Selvagem also collaborates with books from Dantes Editora Publishing House to deepen specific themes.
