To break with the colonial strategy of silencing, imposed on the black people in the diaspora, the construction of an audiovisual discourse and a narrative that dialogues with and about black issues within an afro-perspective, comes as a stone that “shatters the mask of silence ”, as the writer Conceição Evaristo said, in an interview with the philosopher and writer Djamila Ribeiro. To discover the contemporary ways of putting your ear to the shell to hear the sea that unites and separates us, are the films of this session, which question and subvert the identity perspective, and interconnect worlds of African origin.

** Live chat with Clementino Junior, Pedro Nishi & Vinícius Silva and Rose Hikiji on 11/17 at 6 pm in Brazil, broadcast on the Africa in Motion page on Facebook and mediated by Ceci Alves.

In times of political, sanitary and climatic crises, which violently impact indigenous peoples, the I Mostra CineFlecha: (Re) Existir e Curar presents - between October 1st and 15th - a set of films that reflects the power and diversity of contemporary indigenous cinema.

Divided into four thematic sessions, the films show the different ways in which indigenous peoples tirelessly continue to mobilize ways of (re) existing - resisting and existing again, and curing - through ancient and contemporary knowledge and practices, in the face of the hegemonic forces related unsustainable ways of life.
