Em junho de 2026, no Instituto Tomie Ohtake, em São Paulo, nasce uma nova edição de LONG LIVE THE LIVING SCHOOLS, exposição que reúne artes e pensamentos das 5 Escolas Vivas, dos povos Maxakali, Huni Kuin, Guarani, Baniwa e Tukano-Desana-Tuyuka.

A exposição, realizada em parceria entre Selvagem e o Instituto Tomie Ohtake, com a curadoria de Cristine Takuá, coordenadora das Escolas Vivas, é um desdobramento direto da residência artística indígena Living School House artistic residency, que ocupou o Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro (MAM-Rio) por 15 dias em outubro de 2025; e marca também uma continuidade da presença da arte das Escolas Vivas na Selvagem, traçada desde a primeira exposição Long Live the Living School, no Rio de Janeiro, entre dezembro de 2023 e janeiro de 2024.
