After events in Curitiba, Porto Alegre, and Florian\u00f3polis, the philosopher celebrates the warm reception and confirms upcoming appearances in S\u00e3o Paulo, Ribeir\u00e3o Preto, and Fortaleza<\/em><\/p>\n

Djamila Ribeiro has wrapped up the southern leg of her nationwide Lugar de Fala<\/em> (\u201cplace of speech\u201d) tour after drawing thousands of people to events in Curitiba, Porto Alegre, and Florian\u00f3polis.<\/p>\n

In Porto Alegre and Florian\u00f3polis alone, events drew a combined 1,800 people, according to figures the author herself shared in an interview with the Brazilian news outlet Metr\u00f3poles: 1,000 in Porto Alegre and 800 in Florian\u00f3polis.<\/p>\n

In an Instagram post, the Brazilian philosopher thanked audiences in all three state capitals and highlighted the time she spent meeting readers after her talks.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe spent hours and hours signing books, talking, and exchanging ideas,\u201d Djamila wrote. She also thanked everyone for the warm welcome she received throughout the region and gave a special shout-out to her friend Mauricio Rocha Ngozi.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The tour is part of the launch of a revised and expanded edition of Lugar de Fala<\/em>, published in June by Rosa dos Tempos. The new edition features four previously unpublished chapters, updated data, and reflections the author has developed since the book\u2019s original publication in 2017.<\/p>\n

In her talks, Djamila explores central themes of the book, including the inequalities that shape who gets to produce knowledge, who can occupy public spaces, and whose voices receive social recognition.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s incredibly moving to feel so much warmth and see the power of this discussion up close. That\u2019s what made this visit to southern Brazil unforgettable!\u201d Djamila concluded.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
