“Other Centres” by Fernanda Silva, Creator and Performer, and Álvaro Domingues, Geographer.

Eduardo Viveiros de Castro, the Brazilian anthropologist known for his attempt to decolonize thought, is the axe in this two fold opening, delivered in the format of a lecture performance by Fernanda Silva, founder of the activist Metaphor Teatro Galpao in Parnaiba, Brazil, and a keynote speech by Alvaro Domingues, Portuguese writer and geographer with a specific interest in the geography of social inequalities.

While Viveiros de Castro in his text “Os Involuntários da Pátria” denounces the condition of the Native Americans in Brazil—uprooted from their indigenous presence in the Americas, colonized by the Europeans, and excluded as full citizens—Domingues leads us to central questions of the Anthropocene: who are the “excluded” of today and what new or old worlds do they inhabit?
