Abstract

This essay is composed by excerpts of texts, poetries, images, and mostly, from the experiences of more than six years of works between the projects: Navs e Paisagem: diário de bordo entre Belém (2013) e Chaves, Atlas, Paisagem e Pele: Fluxos de Viagem na Amazônia Insular(2015) which were part of the research project “Above the skin, the river: crossing the art department, the landscape in culture territory.” The actions are still happening, and they keep on rolling with the strength and collaboration of the people who attempt to reach others fields, expanding limits and borders beyond the art domain in order to think, specially, about what was imposed as a “development” amazonian project, and for whom, so we can think, primarily,  the specificities and autonomies of Amazonian populations.
