Black Narratives for the General Public: A Conversation about Feelings and Universal Crossings

Writers Room Awareness Audiovisual Mídia e Entretenimento Diversidade e Inclusão Storytelling Impacto Social

Black narratives are understood as stories, perspectives and cultural expressions created from the Black experience around the world. It is a concept that encompasses the struggle against the marginalization and dehumanization of representations, as well as the decolonization of our ways of seeing and existing in the world. To understand who we really are, we must reflect an existence in the world that transcends the experience of coloniality and racism. But why include different and diverse black experiences in the same concept? Are there universal feelings and intersections in the black body? From which path and strategy can we create black narratives that connect with the general public? Understanding universal feelings and emotional transitions as a strategy for building good characters is to open a path of connection for others. This panel aims to delve into this perspective without leaving the field of current and legitimate demands.
