Hello everyone,

The Race and Gender in Global Hispanophone Research Group is delighted to invite you to the talk “From Tweets to the Streets: Women's Documentary Filmmaking and Brazil's Feminist Spring” which will take place in 260-252  (German Library), on Friday April 26 at 3:00 pm- 4:30 pm.

Professor Rebecca Atencio (Tulane University) will encourage us to reflect on contemporary Brazil's feminist movement, highlighting the emergence of feminist activism in response to legislative and media attacks against women's rights. She will analyze the documentary "Chega de fiu fiu”, arguing that the film goes beyond addressing catcalling, shedding light on broader systems of oppression in urban spaces, particularly affecting marginalized women, and offering pathways for resistance and empowerment.

Please, see the poster attached and reply to this RSVP to get a sense of how many people are thinking of attending. Tea and cookies/cupcakes will be provided. Do not hesitate to contact me at smrey@stanford.edu if you have any questions. Thank you!

Looking forward to seeing you there,

Sergio Martínez Rey 

On behalf of Prof. Lisa Surwillo and Prof. Jennifer Alpert.
