"MONOCULTURE OF AFFECTIONS AND THE ISSUE OF CARE" – Geni Nunez
Colonization has not ended, it continues, updating itself in the relations of exploitation of different territories. Understanding our body as part of this territory and also as a target of colonial invasions and the expropriation of autonomy and health, at this meeting we will talk about the monoculture of affections and its effects on the production of a single way of being in the world, especially in relationships of care provided by mothers. Just as the earth needs rest, as it is alive, but is exploited and exhausted at all times, we will have key questions: how time is articulated with the coloniality of affections, with the (lack of) redistribution of work and the subtraction of the pleasure and health of certain subjects? The reflections will be guided by the perspective of reforesting the imagination and its challenges.
“WHAT'S HAPPENING TO THE MOMS?" – Ana Thomaz

What's happening to the mothers? will be the central question for this public speech. Ana Thomaz is an Alexander Technique teacher, initiator of community processes, mother of three unschooled daughters and son
