The YACY project aims to highlight the work, culture, and art of women from the indigenous peoples of Brazil.
In New York, the first exhibition of Indigenous women from Brazil took place in partnership with Angêlica Walker Projects in September 2023. YACY promoted cultural presentations, such as music, photographs, films, and rituals as part of the program.
The project took place during Climate Week 2023. YACY featured a series of events, including roundtables and business forums focused on sustainable entrepreneurship and the creative economy as means to preserve the environment and indigenous culture.
