At Swissnex in Brazil, the arts and creative industries are an essential part of what we do. By integrating artistic methods, scientific research, innovation, and ancestral knowledge, we aim to reflect on society, spark dialogue, and explore new possible futures.

We use creative practices to bring ideas to life and foster exchange through shared experiences. Our goal is to create an inclusive space that engages diverse audiences and broadens perspectives through active listening, collaboration, and the recognition of multiple ways of knowing, including those of Indigenous peoples, quilombola communities, and local populations.

Through art, we expand the ways we perceive our time and our place within broader ecologies and cosmologies. Artistic practice reveals what often remains unseen and helps us imagine the unimaginable. Creative thinking opens new ways to grasp complexity and turn discourse into action. Together with our Swiss and Brazilian partners, we strengthen our collective capacity to engage with the pressing challenges of our time, while fostering a dialogue between the richness of Brazil’s cultural, natural, and technological diversity and Swiss innovative capacity.
