The symposium, held at UC Irvine in May 2022, brought together artists and academics who engaged with the proposed questions, among many others, through a deep critical engagement with Brazilian literature, popular aesthetic practices, philosophy, established artistic production, and social-political-economic issues. Through its multidisciplinary approach, we hope that these and other lines of inquiry become available for the ongoing project of reviewing and rethinking modes of domination, especially in Brazil, in order to arrive at justice.
