The Instituto Letras que Flutuam (Floating Letters Institute) is a non-profit organization founded after 15 years of research and collaborative work with boat lettering artists from the Amazon. The Institute works to ensure that Amazonian decorative lettering is recognized as intangible cultural heritage, not only for its aesthetic value but for what it represents: a way of life, a traditional craft, an ancestral practice deeply connected to the territory.
