On the occasion of the International Day of Afro-L

On the occasion of the International Day of Afro-Latin American, Afro-Caribbean, and Diaspora Women, celebrated today, July 25, the Cuban Afrofeminist Articulation, in its III Jornada, recognizes and honors the lives and legacies of two great women: Dr. Leyda Oquendo and journalist Gladys Egües.

Dr. Leyda Oquendo is considered one of the pioneers of Afrofeminism in Cuba. She was the first woman in Cuba to achieve the rank of Doctor in Historical Sciences, with a thesis on Africa. From then on, she dedicated herself to systematizing the various forms of resistance deployed by these men and women in the region.

Journalist Gladys Egües graduated in Journalism from the University of Havana in 1971. She is a researcher, writer, antiracist activist, and gender issues expert. A distinguished figure in Cuban journalism, she addressed the Amateur Artists and Art Instructors Movement in Matanzas and ventured into other cultural fronts. She participated in the establishment of the First National Brigade Raúl Gómez García and in the strengthening of UNEAC. She has collaborated in multiple programs on Cuban radio and television, focusing on Cuban women.

On this occasion, we share with you a short audiovisual about journalist Gladys Egües, edited by Gretel Marin and titled "Gladys Egües Cantero: Homenaje."

Cuba, 1961: 250,000 volunteers taught 700,000 people to read and write in one year. 100,000 of the teachers were under 18 years old. Over half were women.

MAESTRA explores this story through the personal testimonies of the young women who went out to teach literacy in rural communities across the island—and found themselves deeply transformed in the process.

De 3 a 9 de julho deste ano, ocorrerá a 43ª ediçao do Festival del Caribe em Santiago de Cuba. Esta edição é dedicada ao estado da Bahia, no Brasil.

"Sementes de saberes Pataxó" participará do Festival del Caribe nesta quinta-feira, 4 de julho. Convidamos você a aproveitar este maravilhoso material.

📆 4 de julho - 15h às 18h
📍Cine Rialto (Rua Santo Tomás entre Heredia e San Basilio) Santiago de Cuba, Cuba.

“Sementes de saberes Pataxó” é um curta-metragem que aborda a educação indígena
pataxó, na Aldeia Kaí, terra indígena de Comexatibá, Extremo Sul da Bahia. Lideranças
e professoras falam sobre a importância da criação da Escola Estadual indígena Kijẽtxawê Zabelê na comunidade, para manutenção dos saberes, costumes e tradição
do Povo Pataxó.
A Escola, além de receber estudantes não-indígenas, também é reconhecida como
referência na prática pedagógica em diálogo com a sabedoria ancestral e o ensino da
língua indígena Patxôhã. O curta também aborda os desafios enfrentados pela comunidade na luta por valorização, reconhecimento e estrutura da educação escolar
indígena. Além disso, contextualiza as violências históricas sofridas pelo povo Pataxó
nesse território, onde se deu a primeira invasão dos Portugueses e que ainda resiste em face dos conflitos com os invasores de terras.

Arturo Alfonso Schomburg was a distinguished histo

Arturo Alfonso Schomburg was a distinguished historian, writer, collector, and activist of African and German descent born in Puerto Rico. He was born on January 24, 1874, in Santurce, Puerto Rico, and passed away on June 10, 1938, in Brooklyn, New York. Schomburg is recognized for his significant contribution to the Harlem Renaissance and for his work in documenting and promoting the achievements of people of African descent in America and the world.

From a young age, he dedicated himself to refuting a teacher’s claim that black people had no history, heroes, or accomplishments. This motivated him to search for and document the contributions of Africans and their descendants. Throughout his life, Schomburg amassed a vast collection of literature, art, and slave narratives, which later became the foundation of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, New York Public Library, named in his honor.

Schomburg was also an advocate for Puerto Rican independence and collaborated with prominent figures of the Harlem Renaissance, such as W.E.B. Du Bois and Langston Hughes. His legacy endures as a pillar in the study and appreciation of Afro-descendant culture.
