From August 15 to 24, Ribeir\u00e3o Preto, in the state of S\u00e3o Paulo, will once again be a meeting point for readers, authors, and artists at the 24th edition of the Ribeir\u00e3o Preto International Book Fair (Feira Internacional do Livro de Ribeir\u00e3o Preto – FIL), which in 2024 welcomed 250,000 people to more than 400 activities. This year, one of the honorees is Professor Djamila Ribeiro, internationally recognized as one of the most influential voices of Black feminism in the Global South.<\/p>\n

Under the theme Possible Futures: Between Lines and Paragraphs<\/em>, inspired by the ideas of Italian sociologist Domenico de Masi, the FIL invites the public to reflect on literature as fertile ground for imagining and collectively building new realities. The proposal stems from the conviction that the future is not built solely on technical or economic progress, but above all on the ability to imagine\u2014individually and collectively\u2014other ways of living. This is a perspective inherent in Djamila\u2019s intellectual work and her defense of writing as a tool for social transformation and for questioning the structures that sustain historical inequalities.<\/p>\n

Her first appearance will be at the opening ceremony on August 15 at 8 p.m. at Theatro Pedro II, alongside the other honorees of this edition: Domenico de Masi (in memoriam), filmmaker Andr\u00e9 Luiz Oliveira, and writer Matheus Arcaro. On the following day, August 16 at 7 p.m., also at Theatro Pedro II, she will take part in A Meeting with Djamila Ribeiro<\/em>, a session in which the Brazilian philosopher will discuss central themes of her work, such as Black feminism, place of speech, and anti-racism. The schedule will conclude on Saturday, August 17 at 3 p.m., on the Theatro Pedro II Esplanade, with a book signing.<\/p>\n

Tributes from the FIL Have Already Begun Online<\/strong><\/p>\n

On FIL\u2019s Instagram profile, tributes to Professor Djamila Ribeiro have already begun. In a video about her journey, led by journalism student Mirella Archangelo, businesswoman Ang\u00e9lica Pires highlights the impact of seeing \u201ca Black Brazilian woman talking about philosophy\u201d as an act of representation and rupture. Entrepreneur Y\u00fa Souza, creator of the Resenha Preta project, shares that reading Who\u2019s Afraid of Black Feminism?<\/em> was decisive for her self-recognition and her search for new authors.<\/p>\n

With free admission, the FIL is organized by the Ribeir\u00e3o Preto Book and Reading Foundation, with support from Sesc S\u00e3o Paulo and Senac S\u00e3o Paulo. More than a literary celebration, the 24th Ribeir\u00e3o Preto International Book Fair is an invitation to imagine and to write towards the futures we wish to live.<\/p>\n
