Writing as body, gesture and action

The FILMIG closure expands into a intercultural cultural programming, where With the feet It is proposed as a space to sing, dance, and move the body; to celebrate existence amidst the violence and difficulties faced by racialized people in the current geopolitical context. Because we don't just write on paper: The body also speaks, remembers, and expresses itself.

We understand joy as a indispensable political practiceEspecially in the festive spaces we build from grassroots culture, where music, dance, and collective presence become forms of resistance, care, and affirmation of life. The closing event thus proposes a vibrant and shared encounter, where the written word engages in dialogue with the moving body, listening, and collective celebration.

Throughout its two previous editions, FILMIG has established itself as a act of cultural justiceNot only because it makes books and authors more visible, but because build horizons where our words matterThey find their own place and open up dialogues that are necessary for the city. We understand culture as a common territory from which to contest narratives, produce memory and generate community.
