The “Movimento Autoral” [“Authorial Movement”] project seeks to amplify the voices of authors in order to promote meetings and disseminate writings that are fundamental to contemporaneity. To this end, the Feminismos Plurais Space will host book launches, with the presence of authors at book signing evenings, tributes and lots of debate.

And the first meeting will be on March 22, with the presentation of “Poemas Ynacabados” (Feminas Publishing House), the book launch of Esmeralda Ribeiro, author and editor responsible for Cadernos Negros, one of the most traditional publications in the country.

On her Instagram profile, Djamila Ribeiro, coordinator of the Space – and of the collection – Plural Feminisms, celebrated the project: “Another wonderful initiative!”.
