Popopô Gallery / Guá Arquitetura

Located on Combu Island, about a 15-minute boat ride from Belém, the Popopô Gallery transforms the river crossing into architecture. Situated within the Combu Island Environmental Protection Area (APA), amidst the forest and water, the project is born from listening to the territory and its ways of life, converting the daily memory of traveling along the river into a built space. More than just hosting exhibitions, the gallery establishes a symbolic milestone for the territory as the island's first art gallery — a place where artistic production meets the social and emotional repertoire of riverside life.

The Museum of the Amazons (MAZ), a cultural space dedicated to valuing science and technology in the region, opened to the public in Belém on October 4th. The museum is part of Porto Futuro II, which comprises a set of works carried out by the Government of Pará, left as a legacy from COP 30 to the capital of Pará. The Pará-based office Guá Arquitetura and the Rio de Janeiro firm be.bo. architects are responsible for the design of the 3,100 m² warehouse. In parallel, the duo developed the museum's permanent exhibition design, which will open in 2026.
