Global Multimedia and Multidisciplinary Cultural Organization Empowering and Inspiring Minds to Promote Social Change and Raise Consciousness 🤍✨🐞🌈

LIBERATUM BRAZIL 🇧🇷💚 3-5 November 2023 Sa

LIBERATUM BRAZIL 🇧🇷💚
3-5 November 2023 Salvador, Bahia

A landmark multidisciplinary and multimedia cultural celebration and an inspiring global festival in Salvador, Bahia featuring some of the greatest voices of our time collaborating with the most brilliant Brazilian innovators that are transforming culture and society, and striving for greater representation.

———————————————

VISIONARIES // ICONS // POWERHOUSES // CHAMPIONS // LEADERS // BLACK CHANGEMAKERS //

The next Liberatum Global Festival to be held in Salvador, the capital of Bahia state in the Northeast of Brazil, from 3-5 November 2023. We like to call it the cultural heart of Brazil.

Liberatum Brazil will be an international platform to champion equality and diversity, and a landmark event to provide a vital source of inspiration to audiences. Expanding upon Liberatum’s rich history of building significant multidisciplinary programmes worldwide with iconic talents and visionaries, Liberatum Brazil promises to be a world class festival of culture, consciousness and creativity to empower communities with an important spotlight on Black Culture and Black Changemakers.

Bahia is Brazil’s most African state, with more than three quarters of its 15 million inhabitants tracing their roots back to Africa. Salvador, its capital city, has the most Afro-based population in the world outside of the African continent. Over 80% of the population of Salvador is from an African background.

Some of the greatest international cultural voices of our time will collaborate with their Brazilian, and in particular Afro-Brazilian, counterparts for an original, eclectic and an inspiring programme of the highest standard throughout the spectacular city of Salvador to benefit society.

CELEBRATING BLACK CULTURE // EMPOWERING COMMUNITIES // RAISING CONSCIOUSNESS // PROMOTING INCLUSION, DIVERSITY AND EQUALITY

Official Festival Announcement to be made in July 2023. For further information, please contact Liberatum Brazil management c/o Agencia Pira at liberatum@agenciapira.com

When you develop your opinions on the basis of weak evidence, you will have difficulty interpreting subsequent information that contradicts these opinions, even if this new information is obviously more accurate.

If there is something in nature you don't understand, odds are it makes sense in a deeper way that is beyond your understanding. So there is a logic to natural things that is much superior to our own. Just as there is a dichotomy in law: 'innocent until proven guilty' as opposed to 'guilty until proven innocent', let me express my rule as follows: what Mother Nature does is rigorous until proven otherwise; what humans and science do is flawed until proven otherwise.

It is my great hope someday, to see science and decision makers rediscover what the ancients have always known. Namely that our highest currency is respect.

Being a woman is hard work. Not without joy and even ecstasy, but still relentless, unending work.

Becoming an old female may require only being born with certain genitalia, inheriting long-living genes and the fortune not to be run over by an out-of-control truck, but to become and remain a woman command the existence and employment of genius.

A global LGBTQ+ asylum charity has recorded a huge rise in LGBTQ+ people from Uganda asking for help in fleeing the country.

Rainbow Railroad says the rise is “directly related” to the Anti-Homosexuality Bill, which doubles down on the criminalisation of same-sex activity while introducing a new crime of “aggravated homosexuality”. Defined as sex with a minor, having sex while HIV positive or incest, it carries a death sentence.

The bill originally made it illegal to simply identify as LGBTQ+, but this clause was removed as parliament reconsidered the bill this week.

Rainbow Railroad has received more than 468 requests for help from LGBTQ+ Ugandans in 2023 so far. That represents a “sharp increase from previous years”, the organisation told PinkNews.

Speaking to PinkNews, Kimahli Powell, executive director of Rainbow Railroad, said: “There were already disturbing signs that Uganda was targeting the LGBTQI+ community before the bill was introduced, including the shutdown of civil society organisations like Sexual Minorities Uganda – but the spike is directly related to the bill’s passage.”

Notably, 56 per cent of those seeking assistance are trans or non-binary.

This points to a “larger backlash and targeting of trans persons” by the “anti-gender movement”, Powell says.

“We’re deeply concerned around the vulnerability of trans people who will be severely persecuted if and when this bill is signed into law,” he added.

Swift action is necessary, Powell says. He is urging governments around the world to do what they can to provide support to LGBTQ+ Ugandans who are forced to flee. - PinkNews

The only reason we don't open our hearts and minds to other people is that they trigger confusion in us that we don't feel brave enough or sane enough to deal with. To the degree that we look clearly and compassionately at ourselves, we feel confident and fearless about looking into someone else's eyes.

Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It's a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we be present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.

The most difficult times for many of us are the ones we give ourselves.

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.

You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.

You can only become truly accomplished at something you love. Don’t make money your goal. Instead pursue the things you love doing and then do them so well that people can’t take their eyes off of you.
