Description
Explore the complex relationship between civil society and cultural politics in contemporary Brazil with a focus on human rights, grass-roots social movements, art and culture, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs). Learn how local advocacy groups and NGOs work to promote and advance grassroots politics, cultural productions and education.
Highlights
The program is based in Salvador (Bahia), with a five-day visit to Rio de Janeiro. Considered the Mecca of Africans in the Diaspora, Salvador has a vibrant Black cultural life. Its streets overflow with street performances by artists and open-air capoeira demonstrations. It also has some of the best-organized and vibrant social movements in the Americas. Against this backdrop, Salvador is an important site of social, political and cultural investigation, as it stands at the cross-section of culture, vibrant grassroots advocacy and contested local politics. On your visit Rio de Janeiro, you will interact with grassroots groups and local activists.
