The challenge
Territorial and Environmental Management Plans (PGTAs) are the main instrument of PNGATI, Brazil's National Policy for Territorial and Environmental Management of Indigenous Lands, created in 2012. In 2018, after supporting 14 projects in 21 Indigenous lands, ISPN, Funai and the Ministry of the Environment organized a seminar in Brasília to discuss the results. The policy had to be presented in a motivating way, instilling pride in those who built the plans and showing the diversity of formats, from ethnomaps to action plans.

What we did
We produced an opening video summarizing the policy and the project portfolio, with interviews with Indigenous and government representatives, and a coverage video of the seminar, narrated by Ciça Hermann, recording the debates, the climate change panel led by the Indigenous Climate Change Committee and the launch of the publications.
We also created the visual identity for the seminar and the books. The design draws on Indigenous cultures: earthy tones with the vibrant colors of crafts and body painting, graphic patterns, geometric shapes and photos cut into organic forms. Each book got variations to reflect the people it features.
Outcome
The seminar brought together 16 peoples from nine states and closed with a document in which Indigenous participants call for continued support for PGTAs. Four PGTA books were launched at the event.
