The month of May ended with a memorable occasion at the Brazilian Academy of Letters (APL). On May 30, Professor Djamila Ribeiro participated in the opening of the exhibit The Female Presence in Brazilian Literature: A Difficult Path<\/em>, moderating a panel dedicated to Black literature alongside writers Luiz Maur\u00edcio Azevedo and Calila Das Merc\u00eas.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a promising morning, with a full house and rich debates,\u201d wrote Professor Ribeiro on her Instagram. \u201cIt was very special to moderate a panel on Black literature with Luiz Maur\u00edcio Azevedo and Calila Das Merc\u00eas.\u201d<\/p>\n

The discussion she led helped broaden the scope of the exhibit by highlighting authors and experiences often overlooked in traditional literary circles. By bringing this conversation into the APL, Djamila reinforces a broader movement toward recognizing the diversity of voices that shape Brazilian cultural production.<\/p>\n

Rare works<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Curated by historian Mary del Priore, the exhibit features rare books and first editions by Brazilian women writers from the 18th to the 21st centuries \u2014 including Teresa Margarida da Silva e Orta, N\u00edsia Floresta, Cec\u00edlia Meireles, Clarice Lispector, and Ad\u00e9lia Prado. The exhibit is free and open to the public until June 27.<\/p>\n

The program also included a panel honoring the legacy of Lygia Fagundes Telles, whose former seat \u2014 number 28 at the Academy \u2014 is now held by Djamila Ribeiro. Reflecting on the moment, she wrote on social media: \u201cIt was delightful to hear so many stories about the writer and the woman Lygia. Succeeding her in Seat 28 is a mission I carry with great joy and gratitude.\u201d<\/p>\n
