Performative Workshop | FRAGOSO DESTINO
with Dori Nigro

⏰Date: 30 October 2024 (Wednesday)
2pm to 5pm

📍 Venue: Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto - FBAUP (Av. de Rodrigues de Freitas 265, Oporto)


This performance workshop, bathed in ancestral mythologies and personal/community memories from the Fragoso River, Olinda (Brazil), invites everyone to share their memories/myths. Firstly, we will weave a collective sheet based on river stories. Secondly, we'll talk about artistic/activist practices that problematise environmental racism, reinventing pedagogies of resistance. This workshop will be driven by dialogue, embracing the knowledge/lives of each participant.
