Jusciele de Oliveira takes part in the 10th Latin American Film and Art Colloquium

---

Jusciele de Oliveira, CIAC researcher, is taking part in COCAAL — 10th Colloquium on Latin American Cinema and Art: Knowledge and Existence, from 5 to 8 November 2024, at UFPB — Federal University of Paraíba (Brazil).

This year’s theme is Knowledge and Existence. This approach is an invitation to take a sensitive and attentive look at the formative spaces and processes of cinema and art in Latin America, as well as their relevance to the latency and permanence of non-hegemonic productions. Knowledge suggests a focus on film clubs, festivals, schools, colleges, training projects, film libraries, museums, family and community life, manifestos, social movements, associations and organisations, and even film sets, based on the formative nature of these places and experiences, considering their consequences in building audiovisual cultural scenes. Existences, in turn, are a critical invocation that points out both the invisibility of initiatives carried outside the hegemonic axes of production and artistic logic — be they geographical, economic, thematic, aesthetic, cultural, social, formative, or representative — and highlights the dynamics of confluences and encounters that act and think from other desires, perspectives, convictions, and historicities.

The CIAC researcher presents the paper “Transnational flows in cinema between Africa and Latin America”, which celebrates the centenary of the birth of African revolutionary leader Amílcar Lopes Cabral (1924-1973). The text aims to honour Cabral, the revolutionary leader of the Portuguese-speaking African countries (notably Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde) (PALOP), by demonstrating his diverse interdisciplinary representations and presences in the work of the Bissau-Guinean filmmaker Flora Gomes (1949) Sana Na N’Hada (1950). The main objectives of the article are to promote knowledge and reflection on Cabra’s life and legacy and to highlight his prestige, importance, and presence in the culture, art, history, and politics of the PALOP and the African continent, reflecting on his erasure and forgetting in world history and collective memory in the Afro-diaspora, emphasis Jusciele de Oliveira.
