Proposal for BRICS

To foster the use of international gestures in live cultural performances (music festivals, theater and dance shows, etc) as well as the inclussion of international signs in cultural productions with a textural nature (poems, narrative, even paintings). This would enhance the expressivity of the representation and at the same time add an understanding bonus for people from other BRICS countries.

In this way, it could be possible to increase the cultural exchanges while keeping the original form of these cultural productions, once again with a deep grass-roots perspective.

Mass media like films or TV could expand the scope and audience using this same strategy.
