Actress Lian Gaia
The existence of Gaia is political in itself and it could not be different if she is an indigenous person, a descendant of peoples from Paraíba and Amazon, heir to the struggle for land and agrarian reform. Her struggle is expressed in her art, but in addition, Gaia is an activist for the indigenous cause and an important voice and symbol of the movement to recover the identity of indigenous young people born in urban contexts, victims of the ethnocide on which the history of Brazil was built.
She works in the indigenous women's movement in favor of the right to land and Good Living, Wayra Kunas; and at Wyka Kwara, an association that welcomes urban indigenous people in the process of recovery and proposes to educate civil society about the indigenous cause. Always present in demonstrations for the rights of indigenous peoples, Gaia takes the struggle of her ancestors with her wherever she goes, inspiring other indigenous women and young people to raise their voices above the colonial insistence on silencing them permanently.
Anauá Filmes is an independent audiovisual production company founded by Patrick Raynaud, indigenous persons and allies. Its objective is to publicize the struggle of the native peoples and traditional communities of Abya Yala and other continents.
TePI
“TePI – Theater and indigenous peoples” brings the importance of indigenous artistic protagonism in its expression and representation. Here, theater is understood in the diversity of its form and by the valorization of the body as an aesthetic and political power.
