What the program says

Brazil has a unique formation. Racial mixing and the building of a country of immigrants and multiple cultures are reasons for pride, and it is this memory that we will celebrate, with the preservation of our historical heritage, from the historical centers to the works and collections that tell who we are, today deteriorated through lack of care. In Culture, we will value Brazilian traditions and improve the incentive laws, correcting distortions and favoring the development of other regional hubs. In this way, we will reach artists of great artistic merit but little visibility, today forgotten by the current model. We will bring art close to the public across the country, without subordinating it to political agendas, guided by transparency, freedom of expression and the distinction between culture and commercial entertainment.
