    EN (dubbed): Connecting the Dots with ELVIS GUERRA

    The Zapotec people of southern Mexico have long recognized more than two genders. In Juchitán, in the state of Oaxaca, a person born with a male body who lives a feminine identity and role in the community is called muxe. This is not a "third gender" in the Western sense, but a distinct identity, rooted in Zapotec culture, that predates and exceeds any category borrowed from the outside world. Elvis Guerra was born in Juchitán in 1993. She is a muxe poet, translator, activist and artisan. Her three poetry collections, including Ramonera and Muxitán, are a true showcase of her raw, political art, and have taken Elvis around the world to speak about the lived realities of being muxe. We met Elvis at the FOLIO literary festival in Óbidos, Portugal, for an inspiring conversation. . Follow Elvis Guerra on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elvisgguerra/ .

    PT/ES: Connecting the Dots com ELVIS GUERRA

    O povo zapoteca do sul do México desde há muito reconhece mais do que dois géneros. Em Juchitán, no estado de Oaxaca, uma pessoa nascida com um corpo masculino que vive uma identidade e um papel femininos na comunidade é chamada de muxe. Não se trata de um «terceiro género» no sentido ocidental, mas sim de uma identidade distinta, enraizada na cultura zapoteca, que antecede e ultrapassa qualquer categoria importada do mundo exterior. Elvis Guerra nasceu em Juchitán em 1993. É uma poeta, tradutora, ativista e artesã muxe. As suas três coleções de poesia, incluindo «Ramonera» e «Muxitán», demonstram a natureza crua e política da sua arte, e têm levado Elvis a viajar pelo mundo para falar sobre a realidade da sua vida enquanto muxe. Encontramo-nos com Elvis no festival FOLIO, em Óbidos, Portugal, onde gravámos esta conversa inspiradora. . Siga Elvis Guerra no Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elvisgguerra/ .

    EN: Connecting the Dots with ALEX AHIMBISIBWE - Batwa Indigenous Development Organisation

    The Batwa are an Indigenous People of Africa's Great Lakes region. For thousands of years, the Batwa of South-western Uganda lived as hunter-gatherers in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. In the early 1990s, the creation of a national park led to their eviction from their ancestral home, leaving Batwa communities landless and pushed to the margins of society. In this episode, we travel to Kashija village, in Kisoro District, to meet Alex Ahimbisibwe, the director of the Batwa Indigenous Development Organisation, or BIDO. Founded in 2015, BIDO works to overcome this marginalization through community development led by the Batwa themselves. Azimuth has been a partner of BIDO since 2022. We continue to support two crucial BIDO initiatives: an agriculture project building food security and food sovereignty in the community, and an education project accompanying Batwa children — and their parents — along their school journey. We recorded this conversation during our visit to Kashija. We hope it brings you closer to the Batwa, and to the work BIDO is doing in Uganda. .

    PT (dubbed): Connecting the Dots com ALEX AHIMBISIBWE - Batwa Indigenous Development Organisation

    Os Batwa são um povo indígena da região dos Grandes Lagos Africanos. Durante milhares de anos, os Batwa do sudoeste do Uganda viveram como caçadores-recoletores na Floresta Impenetrável de Bwindi. No início da década de 1990, devido à criação de um parque nacional, os Batwa foram expulsos do seu território ancestral. Sem terra, sem realojamento, estas comunidades foram empurradas para as margens da sociedade. Neste episódio, viajamos até à aldeia de Kashija, no distrito de Kisoro, para conversar com Alex Ahimbisibwe, diretor da Batwa Indigenous Development Organisation, ou BIDO. Fundada em 2015, a organização procura combater a marginalização dos Batwa através de projetos de desenvolvimento liderados pela própria comunidade. A Azimuth é parceira da BIDO desde 2022. Atualmente, a nossa parceria engloba duas importantes iniciativas: um projeto agrícola que promove a segurança e soberania alimentar na comunidade, e um projeto educativo que acompanha crianças e jovens Batwa — e os seus pais — ao longo do seu percurso escolar. Gravámos esta entrevista durante uma visita da nossa equipa a Kashija. Esperamos que seja uma oportunidade para ficar a conhecer melhor o povo Batwa e o trabalho que a BIDO está a levar a cabo no Uganda. .

    Brisa de la Cordillera, Mapuche, é filha de artesãos chilenos que saíram do país em 1987 durante a ditadura de Pinochet. Cresceu no Brasil, num bairro periférico de Belo Horizonte, em Minas Gerais, onde começou o seu percurso artístico. É rapper, cantora, compositora, produtora, educadora. A sua obra traça um percurso singular que passa pelo rap, cantos ancestrais, jazz, electrónica e música andina. Lançou três álbuns: "Newen", "Selvagem como o vento" e "Janequeo". Foi a primeira artista indígena a actuar no Lollapalooza. Falámos com Brisa durante a sua passagem por Portugal, onde participou no FOLIO - Festival Literário Internacional de Óbidos, e onde realizou uma residência artística promovida pela plataforma Terra Batida, que tem convidado artistas indígenas brasileiros a explorar as políticas de memória e apagamento que atravessam os acervos mantidos em museus e arquivos em Portugal. .

    Brisa de la Cordillera, a Mapuche artist, is the daughter of Chilean artisans who left the country in 1987 during the Pinochet dictatorship. She grew up in Brazil, in a suburb of Belo Horizonte, in Minas Gerais, where she began her artistic journey. She is a rapper, singer, songwriter, producer, and educator. Her work traces a singular path that spans rap, ancestral chants, jazz, electronic music, and Andean music. She has released three albums: "Newen," "Selvagem como o vento," and "Janequeo." She was the first Indigenous artist to perform at Lollapalooza. We spoke with her during her visit to Portugal, where she participated in FOLIO—the Óbidos International Literary Festival—and where she completed an artist residency organized by the Terra Batida platform, which has been inviting Brazilian Indigenous artists to explore the politics of memory and erasure that permeate the collections held in museums and archives across Portugal. .

    Neste episódio conversamos com Felipe Borman, diretor executivo da Fundación Sobrevivencia Cofán, sediada no Equador. A Azimuth é parceira da FSC desde 2022, tendo apoiado o seu Programa de Guardas Florestais. Este programa protege mais de 400 000 hectares de floresta amazónica e andina. Mais recentemente, a Azimuth apoiou o projeto Lifeboat Garden, que tem como objetivo preservar o conhecimento tradicional sobre plantas e práticas agrícolas dos Cofán. Apoiámos também a realização de obras na sede da FSC em Quito, onde famílias Cofán e guardas florestais ficam alojados para iniciativas de educação e formação.

 Esperamos que esta conversa o inspire a saber mais sobre os Cofán e o trabalho crucial que a FSC está a levar a cabo no Equador. .
