ANIMA is a word of Latin origin that means “soul” and is present in the word “animation” for giving life to the inanimate. TIBA has Tupi-Guarani origin and means “a lot”. Hence the name ANIMATIBA, an event about animation, with a lot of soul and held in Curitiba (the city of many pine nuts).
​Curitiba has an old vocation for the art of animation, with great artists and production companies that stand out on the national and international scene, and now the city also has an event for the integration of knowledge, perceptions, appreciation, exchanges and innovation for this area. Our mission is to bring together artists, researchers and lovers of this art in an event that visits the past, glimpses the future and animates the present!
