Now we can explore it through the voices of indigenous peoples in the fields of art, thought, science and activism. The exhibition Amazonia. The ancestral future takes us into its territory, its cities and its indigenous communities to understand other lifestyles and ways of relating to nature. With its vast and diverse expanse spanning nine states and the original habitat of 400 indigenous peoples, the Amazon region is the largest tropical ecosystem in the world.
