Cantoras & Capoeiristas: Women Performing Resistance

Come and experience two performative art forms from South America with Southern Cone cantoras and practitioners of Afro-Brazilian capoeira. This event celebrates narratives of gender and resistance in each of these practices.

Our guest artists (cantoras and capoeiristas from Chile, Argentina and Brazil) will lead a two-day event, with workshops (Iberian-American poetry and improvisation, sound pottery , capoeira movements and percussion) and a roundtable discussion and Q&A. Each day of the event will conclude with performances by the cantoras (Rueda de Cantoras) and capoeirstas (Roda de Capoeira).

Please join us to celebrate these Latin American arts of gendered resistance, and take part in this exciting, participatory event. You can register via the eventbrite links provided below.
