Celebrating 200 years of diplomatic relations between Brazil and France, this Season is a unique opportunity to strengthen bilateral ties and honor the cultural diversity shared by both nations. Led by the Guimarães Rosa Institute, the Institut français, the French Ministry of Culture, and the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, the Season will highlight the creativity and diversity of Brazilian and French artistic, academic, and cultural scenes.
The Brazil-France Season 2025 focuses on key global issues: ecological transition, social diversity and dialogue with Africa, democracy, and fair globalization. It marks an important milestone in fostering deeper connections between Brazil and France and promoting new, sustainable collaborations.
