2022
9th year 3.-6.11. | Bio Oko
Independence and freedom. Values that we place great emphasis on in today's society also because they were often suppressed and denied to people in the past. This year, Brazil celebrates 200 years since its independence from Portugal. However, the sovereignty of a country does not always entail free access to its people. Looking back over the two hundred years of independence, one cannot help but notice how Brazilians are still dealing with the specters of the colonial past.
How they have to defend creative freedom, freedom of speech, free life of Indians on their ancient territories or personal freedom often limited by gang violence in cities. Regardless of poverty, which limits the fulfillment of even the banal wishes, let alone dreams.

CANCELLED: Debate on the contemporary life of Indians in Brazilian society - in Czech
The main character of the movie Fever is an Indian who decided to live in the city in order to give his daughter the opportunity for a better education. Likewise, his representative, the Dessana Regis Myrupu Indian, went first to the city and then to Europe. What was his motivation and how did he adapt to the new environment? He answers these and other questions in an exclusive video. We will also bring you an academic view from Professor Raimundo Nonata Pereira da Silva, who is the director of the Institute of Philosophy, Humanities and Social Sciences and the director of the Department of Anthropology at the Federal University of the State of Amazonas UFAM, and in his work he deals with a wide range of topics, including the issue of cities and social frontiers, Indians in urban settings, and indigenous education. How does the Brazilian academic environment look at the integration of indigenous peoples into the majority society? How do Indians live in the big city of Manaus and how does their education go, even at the prestigious Federal University of the State of Amazonas UFAM? Come and broaden your horizons before the film screening itself!
