Our main objective is to contribute to the training and broadening of the dialogues in search of knowledge and political action about us, black women, and the world around us.
The second objective is to dislocate the geography of reason, which is why Brazil was chosen and, in particular, the city of Cachoeira (Bahia) – internationally known for the centennial, female and black Sisterhood of the Good Death – to welcome this initiative, a city whose population is mostly black.
The third objective is to foster and broaden the dialogue between Black and Decolonial Feminisms, in a perspective of intervention within social movements and the university. In addition to training, the purpose of the School is to create an international network of black feminists in order to forge a space for dialogue, where reflection, strategies of intervention, and political action go hand in hand.
As a practice, black feminism is born from the daily struggles and challenges of black women, who were never exactly considered women. We are inspired by black feminist epistemologies and seek the more horizontal production of knowledge, which has created challenges from the point of view of methodology and the final writing of texts. In this sense, the exchange of experiences is fundamentally important for the formation of a network that articulates a theoretical reflection with a political articulation.
