The Brazil Pavilion at EXPO 2025 Osaka-Kansai, operated by the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil), emphasizes Brazil's natural beauty, culture, and economic richness. The pavilion consists of two exhibition buildings and is themed "Embracing Sustainability, Celebrating Life."
Visitors first experience artworks in the first exhibition building. Then, passing through the "Parangolomo Room" in the second building, they reach the final exhibition room where they can collect a Brazil Pavilion stamp and view various messages about Brazil displayed on LED screens. These messages are shown in eight colored ribbons with Japanese, English, and Portuguese.
The exhibition highlights Brazil's vast nature, including that Brazil has the world's 2nd largest forest area and that the Cerrado is a biodiversity-rich savanna hosting many endemic species. It also focuses on industrial ties, sharing facts such as Brazil producing 60% of the chicken consumed in Japan and Embraer being the world's third-largest private aircraft manufacturer, notably leading in jets under 150 seats.
The pavilion uses keywords like "diversity" and "connection" to present Brazil's dynamic nature, rich culture, and potential for economic cooperation in a multifaceted way. Visitors engage multiple senses through art, light, music, and design, with exhibitions moving from themes of life awakening to diversity blooming, collective connectivity, and reinventing in the face of crises.
