UATO PROJECT
​
It is a window of communication with the Kalapalos, the Upper Xingu, its fauna, and flora. And at the same time, a window of opportunity to enrich ourselves as people, broadening our understanding of our native friends, about ourselves, and how we can help them maintain themselves in this environment. At the same time, the world advances towards the digital age, the virtual, the meta-verse, and new realities.
An opportunity to refute the temptation to suggest our way, in our way, how we think they need help, or how we would like to help, a chance to listen, understand and respect others. We were seeking effectiveness in our efforts, to be less selfish, more beneficial to the planet and our fellow human beings, and less to ourselves.

RECORDS OF THE ALTO XINGU BY DALTON VALÉRIO
The project's beauty is to bring these two worlds together, the traditional and the digital, to use the simplicity and power of images to connect people, gain recognition, representation, allies and new friends, and more Uatos.
​
A vanguard action that aims to provide access to traditional communities and their individuals to disruptive, decentralized tools and technologies and that allows civil society to mobilize through the Block Chain, contributing to something you believe.
Through these values and the junction of new and old roots, the friendship between Dalton and Loike, the first collection of Nft's by the artist and perhaps the first of its kind, emerged.
At the same time, it disseminates the art of photographer Dalton Valério and Uato Dalton's view on the Upper Xingu and the Kalapalo people, on the relationships built with Uato Loike and his family members. Bringing to the public, in addition to incredible photos, the perception of another way of existing, a questioning about our way of living, and at the same time, an opportunity to bet on a crypto asset that gives an adequate return to society, albeit with an initial focus impact on an individual, which we hope will multiply the benefits, radiating out to the community.
​
The collection is composed of 51 tokens from 8 unique images, selected and picked from the artist's personal collection, collectible jewelry from his first photographic expeditions, memories capable of making people smile and move, and who knows, even help us change a little bit how we see the world, reflect about how we live our lives, treat our fellow human beings, the environment, and even ourselves. Our time, our efforts, and our resources.
The Uato Collection Project connects two realities, releasing 51 tokens - photos of Alto Xingu to the world in the form of crypto-assets capable of sensitizing us with their singular beauty and inviting people and attract resources to meet some Uato requests Loike – and also to enable two new projects in a second act, an unprecedented expedition to the Alto Xingu, the NFT XINGU – Native Field Trip Xingu, with a new approach, which will not only meet some of the more immediate needs of the Kalapalo people, according to a letter of Uato Loike, but will also initiate a set of sustainable actions in favor of the Upper Xingu, its preservation and the Kalapalo people, presenting to the world, through Web 3.0, a new concept and a new look at its art, giving to the indigenous the possibility of disseminating their culture, and to the general public the opportunity to know a little more about a fascinating place and people, who remain and live traditionally.
