VACÍOS – El plumier de Nenuse

Badalona by Neus Bonet i Sala

Silla vacía,

al igual que mi alma.


Navegas por mi mente,

y el corazón llora

por tu temprana partida.


Pasarán auroras

y ocasos,

pero tus palabras

quedarán

para la posteridad.

Indigenous women filmmakers form collective, using cameras to fight for rights – Stigmatis

  • In 2022, a group of Indigenous women created Rede Katahirine, a network composed of 60 filmmakers, producers and screenwriters who represent Indigenous women from nearly all of Brazil’s biomes.
  • In placing Indigenous audiovisual arts in the hands of women, the network aims to use its cameras as tools to fight for the preservation of Indigenous territories and memory.
  • Aside from funding new productions, Rede Katahirine organizes monthly meetings for screenings and conversations.

While the name Katahirine seems like it could be for an observatory or some ambitious outer space project, it is rather the name of the first audiovisual network created and run by Indigenous women in Brazil.

In the language of the Manchineri people native to Brazil’s state of Acre, Katahirine means “constellation.” It was chosen by the collective because it implies plurality, the gathering of voices from many territories under one platform.
