In 2026, monumental jaguar sculptures created by Brazilian artists will take over Miami as part of Jaguar
Parade, one of the world’s largest public art and conservation initiatives. Transforming the city into a
vibrant open-air gallery, the project invites residents and visitors to experience art across public spaces
while raising awareness about jaguar conservation and biodiversity protection.
Arriving at a moment when Miami will be welcoming unprecedented international attention and global
audiences, Jaguar Parade connects public art, environmental awareness and cultural exchange through
immersive installations designed to engage diverse communities and visitors from around the world.
Created and produced by Artery, the Miami edition will feature 11 large-scale jaguar sculptures installed
across key locations throughout the city. Blending artistic expression with environmental purpose, the
installations are designed to spark curiosity, interaction and meaningful conversations around nature
and conservation.
Among the featured works, one sculpture will be painted live during a special activation on June 9 by
acclaimed Brazilian urban figurative artist Fabiano Senk. Based in São Paulo, Senk is recognized for his
dreamlike color palettes and large-scale works exploring themes of community, identity and human
connection.
The exhibition will also feature works by Brazilian artists Gus Attab, Laila Mackenzie, Busy, Livia Mourão
& Rui Machado, Guilherme Kramer, Kássia Borges, Lettice, Vinicius Zoia, Sophie Reiterman and Cíntia
Abravanel — each bringing distinct artistic perspectives inspired by biodiversity, coexistence and
environmental preservation.
Following successful editions in cities including New York, Paris, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Jaguar
Parade arrives in Miami as part of its international expansion into some of the world’s leading cultural
capitals. To date, the initiative has brought together more than 258 artists and impacted over 30 million
people globally, generating more than 336 million media and digital impressions worldwide.
This edition also carries special significance as it celebrates the 15th anniversary of Onçafari, the
internationally recognized nonprofit organization dedicated to jaguar conservation and biodiversity
protection in Brazil.
“Being part of the Jaguar Parade is a major milestone for Onçafari and an opportunity to expand our
international presence while sharing the conservation work we have developed across Brazil and Latin
America,” said Mario Haberfeld, founder of Onçafari. “As we celebrate 15 years of history, we are proud
of the legacy we’ve built in jaguar conservation and habitat protection.”
Today, Onçafari operates 23 conservation bases across nine Brazilian states, directly managing more
than 125,000 hectares and supporting the protection of over 2 million hectares of natural areas.
At the conclusion of the exhibition, 100% of the auction’s net proceeds will support the organization’s
ongoing conservation efforts and future initiatives.
“Public art has the power to interrupt people’s routines and create emotional connections,” said Carol
Barreto, CEO of Artery. “And those connections can open the door to important conversations about
conservation, biodiversity and our relationship with the environment.”
The Miami edition is presented by Brazil’s Ministry of Culture, Stella and FF Seguros through the
Rouanet Law, with Diamond sponsorship by VisionOne, Natoo and Eucatex, and support from Embratur
and Visit MS. The project is produced by Artery with support from the Brazilian Consulate General in
Miami and Miami-Dade County.
