About Indigenous Media
Indigenous Media is a decentralized communication collective that produces and disseminates content and agendas inherent to the indigenous issue in Brazil, respecting the specificities of each people, based on the collaborative logic of sharing and communicating, connecting and empowering young indigenous people across the country.
It was created in 2015 within the Acampamento Terra Livre (Free Land Camp) and is led by these young people who contribute to breaking the hegemonic and non-participatory communication. The collective enables the exchange of technologies, experiences, and especially indigenous representation in the media with the dissemination of their fight as another tool for demanding rights.
