TEKO PORÃ
TEKO PORÃ
In the second edition of the project Brazil: the margin, the Centro de Artes da Universidade Federal Fluminense (Fluminense Federal University Arts Center) will be open, from April 24th to 30th, to Teko Porã, which in Guarani language means well living in the community.
The event aims to create a welcoming territory of coexistence and knowledge integration of the traditional and contemporary forms of expression of indigenous peoples, putting in evidence conceptions of art, their languages and the concept of the contemporary, historically determined on the criteria of the West.
Notably in this year 2019, declared by UNESCO as the International Year of Indigenous Languages, we reiterate the words of Prof. José Bessa Freire:
“A language contains in it all the territory where it is spoken, in the means that it classifies, names, describes, evaluates, hierarchizes and gives meaning to everything in it flora, fauna, geographical accidents, enchanted and disenchanted beings that inhabit it, as well as beliefs and knowledge that reveal the relationship between them. Not only do languages communicate information, but they constitute the support social practices by building discourses that establish social bonds, ritualize, tell stories, sing, fight, love and contribute to creating communities that are formed with this sympathy”.
In the diversified program, offered to students and society in general, the richness of indigenous cosmology and expressivity will occupy the spaces of the theater and the cinema, art gallery, photography gallery, balcony and gardens of the Rectory, offering debates, workshops, exhibitions, theater, music and cinema shows. In general programming, the activities to be performed at the UFF Theater will be open to the interested public, teachers of the municipal and state education network and the student community.
The conferences and courses will be accessible in LIBRAS (Brazilian Sign Language), with previous registrations and the right to certification as a listener.
