Today and tomorrow in Rio de Janeiro, the Decolonial Perspectives meeting will bring together researchers and activists in activities such as conversation circles, an Afro dance class and a conference.
Angela Donini, an advisor to the ELAS Fund, and Lúcia Xavier, our partner at the NGO Criola, are taking part in talks on black and anti-racist feminisms.
The event is an initiative of the Faculty of Philosophy and the Graduate Program in Education at UNIRIO in partnership with UNB and CRIOLA, which celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2017.
