FLAME is a charity organisation and limited company that aims to promote understanding of Latin American culture in the United Kingdom.

As an advocate for Latin American cultural expression, FLAME initiates and facilitates projects that engage the public in multicultural activities that educate and challenge stereotypes.

We take a broad definition of culture that encompasses a country’s heritage, the arts and other fields of knowledge (such as social sciences and technology) which convey the way of life of a people.

We initiate project proposals, and then invite organisations and professionals to join in partnership to put the projects together. We also assist individuals and organisations with fundraising (locally and internationally) and management support of their projects that translate our vision.

Since its inception in 1997, Flame has focused on creating strong links with and combining forces with institutions interested in promoting Latin American culture. Previous collaborators and sponsors include: the Brazilian Government, The British Council (Brazil), Cultura Inglesa (Brazil), Canning House, The Architectural Association – School of Architecture, The Royal Society of Medicine, King’s College, schools in South and West London (with a community of Latin American students), The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, Rothschild and Sons Ltd., British Airways, The Museum of London, The Barbican Art Gallery, among others.

FLAME has brought to the United Kingdom innovative and educational projects ranging from photography exhibitions, films, classical and popular music concerts, dance performances, theatre productions, play readings to seminars and talks on contemporary Latin American history, architecture, and social projects.
