Black women (Dandaras) and the struggle for an anti-racist education: Reflections on the impact of the “Enegrecendo a Academia” Project

The Dandaras Collective put into practice the dream of making the monitoring project available and aiming to organize the activities held a call for new participants. This text aims at presenting an experience report on the systematization of data from the Project Blackening the Academy and present the next steps of a collective that keeps moving to build an anti-racist education. With a qualitative approach and using the methodology of bibliographic and documental research, this work presents a brief theoretical discussion on epistemic racism and the need for plurality within the academic field and presents the data of the activities carried out between 2020 and 2022.

Women’s Rights – A long way to go

The Charter of the United Nations, drafted in 1945, represents the foundational document of the United Nations (UN) and reaffirms the commitment to defend human rights, including the establishment of gender equality as a fundamental right. However, the promotion of women's rights required an extensive period and various strategies of political engagement with governments and international organizations in different spaces of discussion in the local and global political arena. In this process, gender issues were progressively incorporated into the global human rights agenda, following a specific visibility regime, according to the context and force configurations among the different political actors, with emphasis on the role of women themselves.

Organized by Dr. Conrado Pries de Castro. Translated by Giovanna Imbernon. Edited and reviewed by Claudia Pires de Castro and Giovanna Imbernon. "We grasp the 20th century by the tail, by the letters of the Latin alphabet. We write to honor our ancestors. We write to determine our own destiny. Self-determination. No more anthropophagic excuses, good intentions, full of tributes, and inspiration. Enough of taking our identities and narratives, turning them into a white’s place of occupation. No more appropriation. We want self-determination! We are the first."

Special Edition – 22 cem anos depois: Centenary of Week of Modern Art: “Anthropophagic utopia survives, more actual than ever.”

Organized by Dr. Conrado Pries de Castro. Edited and reviewed by Claudia Pires de Castro and Giovanna Imbernon. "Nevertheless, today, the left in general, even in the field of culture, is dejected after the neoliberal shock of the last period and the rise of the far-right. Although not explicitly, it is evident that the “isms” in Brazil and throughout the world resulted from a historical opening that engendered aesthetic and political transformations. The 1920s, worldwide, was a decade of utopias and revolutions (and counter-utopias and counter-revolutions). We need to find a crack in this history that has closed for us, and I think the modernist project can perhaps help us with that."

Special Edition – 22 cem anos depois: Centenary of Week of Modern Art: “The Week in us”

Organized by Dr. Conrado Pries de Castro. Translated by Claudia Pires de Castro. Edited and reviewed by Claudia Pires de Castro and Giovanna Imbernon. "São Paulo. The way to the sea. Capitania of São Vicente. Port of Santos. Europe. In the comings and goings of the countryside's plateaus. At the continent. At crossing the Atlantic. We will still go to Europe. “In a coffee landfill”! As the samba composer, Noel Rosa says. Reaffirming the sentence.  “Happiness is the litmus test”. From the Anthropophagic Manifesto."

Special Edition – 22 cem anos depois: Centenary of Week of Modern Art: “Still Modernism? Modernism rides again…”

Organized by Dr. Conrado Pries de Castro. Edited and reviewed by Claudia Pires de Castro and Giovanna Imbernon. "Disputes, controversies, interpretations, conflicts, contradictions have run deep throughout Brazilian culture, in its social life and material civilization, over the past hundred years. They express Brazil’s fantasies and hopes of having a date with the modern, with modernity. Without even noticing the high levels of modernity hiding inside this land of contrasts, according to Roger Bastide, that is, of contrasts and confrontations, as Euclides da Cunha pointed out in 1907. For those reasons, debates on the Week of Modern Art and the Modernist Movement have a lot to say about Brazil’s past and presents evils."
