Anthropologists Sylvia Caiuby Novaes and Fabiana Bruno talked about the collection of 300 images by Claudia Andujar, Lux Vidal and Maureen Bisilliat that show a Brazil little known even by Brazilians.

Directed by Aurélio Prates and Kelwin Marques, the short is the first editing exercise based on images taken in São Paulo and Recife. In the royal processions of the Nations of Maracatu, in the middle of the 20th century, the figure of the Baiana began to be occupied by transvestites, chickens, and other bodies for which femininity was not presupposed. The film seeks to present the relationship of the Bahianas Ricas do maracatu with their ancestries, which can occur both from the memory of the older Bahian women, as well as from contact with more-than-human females such as the Yabás, the Mestras de Jurema, Pombagiras, etc.

The film São Palco - Afropolitan City will be shown on Wednesday, October 23, 2024, at the University of Oxford.
Shambuyi Wetu, Yannick Delass, Lenna Bahule, Edoh Amassize and other Afropolitan artists occupy Sampa and the world with their diasporic creativity.
Synopsis: What do African artists who arrive in Brazil in recent years carry with them on their journey? How do the African diasporas dialogue – the new creative diaspora and the one that turned the Atlantic into a cemetery? What stages are occupied, built, filled with the performances of artists who cross the ocean? Ancestry updated in performances that construct an Afropolitan present in a metropolis where it is necessary to be bold, to color the gray. São Palco – Cidade Afropolitana presents the city of São Paulo as a meta-stage occupied by artists from Togo, Mozambique, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Angola, among other African nations, in dialogue with the Brazilian population and its openings,…
On September 17th and 18th, 2024, the USP School of Communications and Arts (ECA) hosted the symposium “Corpo-archive: practices, memories and audiovisual imaginations”, organized by Delfina Cabrera, Cecilia Gil Mariño, Carola Saavedra (UzK), Peter W.

The August 2024 edition of Revista Pesquisa FAPESP mentions Alice Villela's postdoctoral research, carried out at the Department of Anthropology at the University of São Paulo, under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Rose Satiko, within the scope of the thematic project funded by FAPESP entitled “Local Musicar: New trails for ethnomusicology”.
The FAPESP article addresses the growth of indigenous film production in recent years in Brazil, which has inspired several studies. Among the main purposes of the productions are demands for land and rights.
Alice Villela and Hidalgo Romero directed the film Toré as part of the project “O Musicar Local: New trails for ethnomusicology”. Released in 2022 and lasting 18 minutes, the film portrays the Kariri-Xocó indigenous people, who live on the banks of the São Francisco River, in Alagoas.
