SUMMARY:Webinar: Performative Meetings: 20 Years of Collaborations Between Social and Artistic Movements
DESCRIPTION:The lecture Performative Meetings: 20 Years of Collaborations Between Social and Artistic Movements is part of the exhibition Seeing Through Stone\, which explores artistic and activist practices aimed at abolishing carceral structures and questioning historically ingrained systems of oppression. The event focuses on two decades of collaborations between social and artistic movements\, highlighting how these partnerships have generated new forms of resistance and political action. \n\n\n\nIn the context of the exhibition\, which brings together 85 artists and collectives from around the world who are engaged in imagining alternatives to prisons and punitive structures\, the lecture investigates the intersection of art and activism as a tool to confront racial and social injustices. Frente 3 de Fevereiro\, one of the featured groups\, uses direct and poetic actions to challenge structural racism in Brazil and connects these struggles to global forms of resistance. By recreating the image of its founder Maurinete Lima through artificial intelligence\, the collective proposes an “Ancestral Intelligence” as a contemporary force for struggle and memory. \n\n\n\nWithin the broader narrative of the exhibition\, which offers a radical vision of justice and community\, the lecture reflects on the power of artistic and cultural legacies as a form of social transformation. Just as the artists in Seeing Through Stone imagine worlds beyond prisons\, Frente 3 de Fevereiro explores new ways of engaging with urban spaces and Afro-Brazilian resistance\, contributing to the creation of a future based on justice and solidarity rather than punishment and control. \n\n\n\nThe panel will include Frente 3 de Fevereiro members\, Daniel Lima\, Eugênio Lima\, and Felipe Teixeira\, in conversation with Wagner Carvalho\, Ismail Farouk\, and Jennifer Lyn Sternad Ponce De León. \n\n\n\nThis is an online event.  \n\n\n\n\nRegister here\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWagner Carvalho\n\n\n\n\n\nWagner Carvalho\, born in Belo Horizonte\, Brazil\, has been working in the tradition of Augusto Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed since the age of 12.

Having handed in their PhD in food-based artistic practices\, and as an artist deeply invested in urban and spatial inequalities\, Farouk explores how these intersect with colonial and apartheid histories. Through their arts-based research practice\, Farouk investigates how food and land-based art can unsettle colonial ways of being in the world and enact or imagine speculative futures of abundance. Farouk is currently a lecturer in Fine Art at Durban University of Technology and the Director of Art For Humanity\, based in Durban\, South Africa. Their work has been featured in various collections\, publications\, platforms\, and exhibitions globally.

SUMMARY:Abdias Nascimento and Abolition
DESCRIPTION:Abdias Nascimento is one of the leading figures in the anti-racist and abolitionist struggle in contemporary Brazilian history. His contribution to the social and political sphere and the arts\, theater\, and human rights activism is invaluable. His life was marked by exile in the United States during the military dictatorship established in Brazil from the 1960s to the 1980s.  \n\n\n\nDue to political and racial persecution during the Getúlio Vargas dictatorship\, he was imprisoned in 1937 in the Casa de Detenção de Sao Paulo (São Paulo House of Detention)\, known as Carandiru\, one of the country’s most emblematic prisons. On this occasion\, he wrote the manuscript Submundo (Underworld)\, which was published as a book in 2023. It is a historically significant document\, as it depicts the punitive and racist mindset of the time\, whose echoes are still felt today. The publication presents the author’s narrative\, as well as the voices of his fellow inmates\, and the creation of the Teatro do Sentenciado (Convicts’ Theater) – the precursor of the Teatro Experimental do Negro (Black Experimental Theater)\, a historic milestone in Brazilian theater. \n\n\n\nFor this webinar\, two key figures in the anti-racist and abolitionist movement in Brazil who also contributed to this important work will participate: Dr. Elisa Larkin Nascimento\, co-founder and director of Ipeafro\, and Dr. Denise Carrascosa\, a prominent anti-prison activist. Professor Gina Dent\, co-director of the Visualizing Abolition program\, will moderate the discussion. \n\n\n\n_________ \n\n\n\nAbdias Nascimento é um dos principais expoentes da luta antirracista e abolicionista no Brasil. Sua contribuição para o campo social e político\, bem como para as artes\, dramaturgia e ativismo pelos direitos humanos\, é inestimável. Sua trajetória foi marcada pelo exílio nos Estados Unidos durante a ditadura civil-militar no Brasil entre as décadas de 1960 e 1980.  \n\n\n\nEm decorrência de perseguição política e racial durante a ditadura de Getúlio Vargas\, foi preso em 1937\, na Casa de Detenção de São Paulo\, conhecida como Carandiru\, um dos presídios mais emblemáticos do país. Foi nesta ocasião que escreveu o manuscrito Submundo\, publicado como livro em 2023. Trata-se de um documento histórico que retrata o pensamento punitivista e racista da época\, ainda presente nos dias de hoje. A publicação apresenta a narrativa do autor\, bem como as vozes de seus companheiros de cárcere\, e a criação do Teatro do Sentenciado – precursor do Teatro Experimental do Negro\, marco histórico da dramaturgia brasileira. \n\n\n\nPara este webinar\, contaremos com a participação de duas figuras fundamentais na luta antirracista e abolicionista no Brasil\, que também contribuíram para esta importante obra: a Dra. Elisa Larkin Nascimento\, cofundadora e diretora do Ipeafro\, e a Dra. e Professora Denise Carrascosa\, importante ativista antiprisional. A conversa será mediada pela professora e Dra. Gina Dent\, codiretora do programa Visualizing Abolition. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElisa Larkin Nascimento holds a Ph.D in psychology from the University of São Paulo\, Brazil\, and Master of Arts and Juris Doctor Degrees from the State University of New York\, USA.

She has been running the abolitionist project Corpos Indóceis (Indocile Bodies) and Mentes Livres (Free Minds) since 2010 at the Bahia State Women’s Penitentiary\, where she coordinates sentence reprieve through artistic-literary creation workshops with women prisoners. She has created an editorial label for the publication of literature by women prisoners\, the first title of which is Firminas em Fuga: poesia? On the subject of abolitionism\, she wrote a doctoral thesis on literature and prison in post-Carandiru Brazil\, defended in 2009 at UFBA and published in 2015 under the title Técnicas e Políticas de Si nas Margens (Techniques and Politics of the Self in the Margins) (Appris\, 2015).
