About

The Gender Workshop proposes to continue the “Feminist Interviews” with people from different areas of intervention and work in the field of gender equality and women's dignity and wellbeing in Portugal and Spain.The interviews will allow us to map relevant work carried out in our country and in the neighbouring country, not only in the academy, in the sciences, but also in activism, the arts, care, work, trade unionism, etc. The format of an interview with an audience in attendance will allow for an initial dialogue between interviewer/interviewee and an opening for debate. this interview highlights a collective of outstanding young feminists in poetry and slam, authors of the  volume of poems "Insulto à Decência". They are: Ana Luiza Tinoco, Carol Braga, Jorgette Dumby (sóverônica) & Greta Rocha.

Jorgette Dumby (sóverônica) | Born in the Atlantic. Trying to live peacefully, indignant and revolted at the same time. Perhaps she will die in the Indian Ocean. Believes in education and is passionate about the seduction of  creating throughout the world.

Greta Rocha | Cofundadora do coletivo Slam das Minas Coimbra, Greta ou ATËRG é bruja pisciana da Terra da Garoa (SP - Brasil) que, da música às composições plásticas da arte, da prosa à política, da América Latina à Europa, cria por necessidade. A necessidade de exprimir sensibilidade e a vontade de ser, ser puro desejar poético: caótico e livre. Criação inconstante a todo o instante. Uma vez imigrante em Portugal e destacando o seu viés afetivo e marginal, entende suas performances e expressões não só como formas de matar as saudades, mas também como processos decoloniais ao ocupar espaços e reivindicar a cultura que existe (e resiste!) como herança, memória e construção de novas Histórias. MANIFESTO.
