Ancestralidade e Contemporaneidade
IX ENEI
The Alok Institute embraces indigenous youth and their causes, supporting the IX ENEI – National Meeting of Indigenous Students, at Unicamp (Campinas, SP), an event that goes from July 25 to 29, 2022, with the theme “Ancestrality and contemporaneity” .
The presence of the artist Alok and our financial support are part of this partnership.
The National Meeting of Indigenous Students has become a reference for reflection and collective mobilization on the national scene, in the context of Higher Education and Intercultural Education, and promotes the establishment of networks and alliances on the most diverse fronts of action. It is a space designed and carried out by indigenous people, who have allies and fundamental non-indigenous dialogues, making it a privileged teaching-learning space.
With the theme “Ancestrality and Contemporaneity”, this edition of the event brings some circular perspectives of time, “by guiding our contemporary actions and reflections on experiences and knowledge that our ancestors and elders composed, we ritualize and update the past, transform the present and create other possible futures. The purpose of the meeting is to constitute, through a critical approach, an overview of the moment we are experiencing, not as a linear or static process, but its continuities, discontinuities and circularities, where it is possible to act creatively”, says Arlindo Gregório (Arlindo Baré) , general coordinator of the IX ENEI.
About ENEI
The ENEI has demonstrated its potency for the exercise of themes dear to the university, such as interculturality, the ecology of knowledge, the decolonization of the predominant knowledge production paradigms and the strengthening of indigenous traditions.
It collaborates for academic qualification and acting as a historical subject/protagonist with its collectives, socializing research and weaving reflections on the problems that affect their lives.
