"Since Uýra was born, I aim to bring the message of the forest to people's eyes and hearts."

As a supporter, you came to us because of your love for the rainforest. Today, we are sharing another beautiful piece of the Amazon with you through the film Uýra. In it, viewers join trans Indigenous artist Uýra, traveling through the Amazon on a journey of self-discovery using performance art to teach Indigenous youth that they are the guardians of ancestral messages of the Amazon rainforest.

Through our partnership with the Human Rights Watch Film Festival, we are able to offer $6 tickets with our discount code: RESIST23. See the film online between February 3 - 9, 2023.

In a country that kills the highest number of trans, Indigenous, and environmentalist youth worldwide, Brazilian artist Uýra leads a rising movement through arts and education while fostering unity and providing inspiration for the LGBTQIA+ and environmental movements in the heart of the Amazon rainforest.

Uýra’s performances are a metaphor inspired by the ecological cycle that mirrors social struggles: the destruction of the soil and violence against life, followed by the re-emergence of young plants that germinate quickly and make way for a renewed, stronger ecosystem.

Get to know Uýra, February 3 - 9, 2023!
