Moderated by Duda Nascimento, their session was titled ‘A solidariedade começa onde a semelhança termina’ (Solidarity begins where similarity ends).
The 16th edition of the festival ran from 23 to 27 September 2026 around Praça Tiradentes in the centre of Rio, with a free programme under the theme ‘As Filhas das Filhas das Filhas’, honouring Ana Maria Gonçalves, the first Black woman elected to the Brazilian Academy of Letters.
