The Ciccillo Matarazzo Pavilion (Biennial Pavilion), at Ibirapuera Park in São Paulo (SP), is the address of NFT.Brasil, the first international exhibition held in the capital of São Paulo and the main event in the segment in the country that aims to boost non-fungible tokens ( NFTs ). NFT.Brasil takes place on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th of June and tickets, sold at NFTs, cost R$ 30 for the exhibition, R$ 120 for lectures and exhibition and R$ 300 for the three days of the event, which will be a hybrid , that is, it can also be accessed in the metaverse through  website  of the event.

 

 

NFT.Brasil, which should receive around 30,000 people, will promote lectures and debates by more than 100 specialists from Brazil and abroad. The event will have two main environments and other annexes: the International Exhibition of NFTs that will present the 'Educational Expo' – where concepts and chronology of the emergence of the internet will be presented, the new tools of  Web3 ; the 'Expo Artística e Interativa' – curated by more than 150 national and international artists and 50 collections of works in NFT; 'Expo Imersiva' – a space with more than 100m² to promote a sensory experience with immersive art; the 'VR/AR Gaming Space', with the discovery of new realities; a space dedicated to exhibitors; and shows at happy hours with a musical program and artistic interventions after the day's activities to strengthen the Web3 community connection and networking among participants.

For them, NFT.Brasil intends to open space, connect, build and strengthen communities of digital artists and Web3 builders in the country. This is what Edvam Filho highlighted when he said that “we want the event to be the main aggregator of communities and projects in the area, stimulating national protagonism in the global scene and provoking Brazilian society to think about desirable futures based on these new technologies.”  

 

 

Lucas Santiago, in turn, commented that "the event will be a great moment of connections for those who seek to be in the know and for those who are already building Web3 in Brazil and in the World" while Marco Affonseca emphasized the mission of NFT.Brasil is to promote an experience from the perspective of the journey of the different audiences by emphasizing that “the proposal is to be present in the journey of the different audiences, providing moments of connection between the NFT universe, the brands and the different profiles of the public that will visit the Bienal in this first meeting of many to come."

 

With the aim of promoting inclusion and access to the universe of NFTs, based on an unprecedented partnership between NFT.Brasil and G10 Favelas (the largest group of favelas in the world), young people from the peripheral regions of São Paulo will be able to get to know and discover a little more about the segment during the event. Part of the proceeds will go to communities located in São Paulo that are part of the G10 Favelas to provide an education environment focused on engaging young people from the periphery in the world of NFT and its applicability. In addition, event organizers will revert part of the event's revenue to investments in shares in the G10 favelas.
