Infoveranstaltung - meuterei Berlin/Kreuzberg- Reichenbergerstr. 58
Talk with Thainã de Medeiros, museologist and activist from the Complexo do Alemão favela, Rio de Janeiro.
Coletivo Papo Reto (the Straight Talk Collective) is a community
journalism collective that uses communication to mobilise and discuss
issues related to favelas in Rio de Janeiro. They have taken on an
urgent and inspiring role in the development of alternative forms of
journalism and communication emerging in Rio's favelas. The Collective
also fights for the upholding of human rights, as well as for keeping
their own way of life, and works to document and denounce violations
committed by the police in popular territories.
Thainã de Medeiros is a member of Papo Reto. He grew up in Complexo da
Penha and lives in Complexo do Alemão, two neighbouring communities that
share similar realities with a continuous presence of "pacifying police
units" (UPPs). He will explain what the impact of this situation is in
the daily lives of the people who live in these areas.
