Latinidades – the biggest Black Women’s festival in Latin America

8th edition

FestivalLatinidades

We made it to the 8th edition. In seven years the Latinidades

Festival brought important topics related to overcoming gender and

race inequalities, bringing to light the black culture of the diaspora.

Having its headquarters in the Federal District, it was created in 2008

to celebrate the Black Latin American and Caribbean Women’s Day, on the

25th of July.

Believing that Culture is a strategic space and that it mobilizes the topics that we address, the project engages in different artistic languages, professional training, qualification, entrepreneurship, creative economy and communication.

Beyond its international reach, the proposition is lined up with

increasing circulation and discussion possibilities between

cities, since it performs actions in the Administrative Regions

of the Federal District and has received invitations from

outside Brasilia and Brazil. Access is free to all

activities.

Dia da Mulher Negra Latino Americana e Caribenha

The 25th of July was chosen as the Black Latin American and Caribbean Women’s Day since 1992, when the first meeting of Black Women from Latin America and the Caribbean took place, in the Dominican Republic. The event took place with the participation of sixty countries and discussed the black woman situation, deliberating the creation and strengthening of the date. All over Latin America and the Caribbean, activities are held to mark the 25th of July,

which affirms the necessity of discussing and presenting solutions for the black women reality of vulnerability in the continent. The Black Women Movement reclaims the day

each year as a sign of fight and visibility, in such a way that the 25th of July is for black woman what the 8th of March is for women in general. In Brazil, on the

2nd of June of 2014, the Law that establishes the Black Woman’s Day on the 25th of July, was sanctioned by President Dilma Roussef, in

homage to the great leader quilombola Tereza Bengela, as a result of mobilization in which the project Latinidades

had a big participation.

Latinidades 2015

Theme: The 2015 edition will take place from the 19th to 26th of July, at the Cine Brasilia, and will treat the topic of Black Cinema.

The idea is to discuss the role and representation of black women in cinema, putting them at the center of the debate about public policies for

the audiovisual. Female Producers, scriptwriters, actresses, publishers, voice over actresses, camera women – how many do we know? How many are there in the

market? After all, what is Black Cinema? What kind of cinema is being produced in the black diaspora? Which are the circles where it is possible to have access to this production? How the black woman’s image is represented in cinema? How can we create a circulation network of black people’s cinematographic production, valuing specific and transversal topics? What is the place of transexualism, of black youth, of traditional communities, of popular and peripheral culture, of gender, amongst others, in today’s cinema shown in movie theaters? Does a black Afro-futurist cinema exist? These are

some of the challenges of the project’s eighth edition.
