Plan D - International Organization of Decolonial Strategies
Plan D: A Keeper of Forgotten Narratives and a Creator of Imaginative New Geographies
Plan D is a transdisciplinary collective and think tank , registered in France as an association recognized as being of public interest (law of 1901), which focuses on the development and implementation of decolonial and intersectional strategies in favor of cultural reparation .
Positioned between the worlds of the North and the South, the association acts as a guardian of erased narratives and as a creator of new imaginative geographies.
Plan D is a platform for action for generations committed to a future rooted in the coexistence of worldviews, also called cosmovisions . In times of global transformation, Plan D acts strategically to collaborate with leaders, communities and institutions, creating new opportunities to connect cultures, to reestablish a relationship of equality and mutual respect, essential to implement any action towards cultural reparation.
"We do not seek to restore the past, but to build a future that respects and values the dignity and memory of the people who shape our history and our identity. To repair ourselves, to heal ourselves, is to reinvent and reinterpret ourselves, in our own terms."
Djoser Botelho Bras, Administrator
We heard the call
We were born in December 2022 with an ambitious mission: to accompany and support leaders, artists and communities who have stories to tell and memories to recover.
We have teamed up with Brazilian indigenous leader Célia Tupinambá to present the first exhibition in Europe of an artist whose mission goes far beyond art. Indeed, Célia has revealed to the world the ancestral call of her people: that of the Great Birds, materialized in sacred cloaks that symbolize the spirituality, strength and identity of the Tupinamba culture and which, in the number of eleven pieces, are found in European museums.
It didn't take long for her voice to be featured in documentaries, film festivals and the world's biggest cultural events, including the prestigious Venice Biennale of Contemporary Art in April 2024 where she represented the Brazilian pavilion.
Plan D Documentary “I Heard the Call: Return of the Tupinambá Mantos” (Broadcast November 2025) is a powerful window into the movement for cultural reparations and the recovery of symbols. More than an audiovisual document, the film seeks to raise awareness among the public and institutions around the world about the importance of restoring the cultural dignity of indigenous communities that, for centuries, have been expropriated of their spiritual and cultural symbols.
Guided by Celia's vision and the historical duty she carries, we immerse ourselves in the quest that leads to the Mantos Tupinambás. A mission that has led us to diplomatic negotiations on European soil and to a historic triumph in 2024: Denmark has finally returned one of the sacred mantles to Brazil.
This moment represents not only a victory for the Tupinambá people, but also an important step in global cultural reparation.
Towards a new cultural geography
As the world faces climatic, geopolitical and cultural challenges, Plan D sees an unprecedented opportunity to recreate imaginative geographies where diverse worldviews can coexist and strengthen each other .
Our partnership with global institutions, including our participation in COP 30 in the Amazon in 2025, aims to challenge and shape new forms of artistic and spiritual collaboration, involving leaders and artists from all cultures.
At the world’s most important events, Plan D is the vanguard that connects territories, reinvents narratives and honors history while building a future of dignity and respect for the planet’s multiple worldviews . More than an association, we are a tool for transformation that challenges hegemonic paradigms and encourages the recovery of ancestral memories.
Through innovative initiatives, strategic partnerships and an unwavering commitment to cultural reparation, we seek to redefine the role of art in the contemporary context. Plan D is the alliance between voices from the Global South and cultural institutions from the Global North, a decolonial think tank that transforms stories into legacies. We do not fight the past, but we build the future with it.
