Unibes Cultural Presents Virginia and Adelaide: Memory and Human Rights
Unibes Cultural, in São Paulo, will host an important reflection on prejudice, discrimination, and human rights. On November 22 at 6:00 PM, the venue will present a special screening of the film Virginia and Adelaide, followed by a panel discussion featuring representatives from the Brazilian Israelite Confederation (CONIB), the Brazilian Bar Association (OAB), and the Regional Council of Psychology of São Paulo (CRP-SP).
Moderated by Valéria Braunstein, with the participation of Gabriel Basílio, Andressa de Lima, Anelise Froes, Sílvia Souza, and Vanessa Abdo Benaderet, the event proposes an interdisciplinary dialogue on the racism experienced by Black and Jewish communities, examining both its historical roots and its contemporary manifestations.
More than discussing experiences of discrimination, the initiative seeks to highlight the shared challenges involved in confronting prejudice and intolerance. Its goal is to foster attentive and meaningful listening across different perspectives, creating a space for knowledge exchange and the collective development of solutions.
The film Virginia and Adelaide serves as a starting point for a broader conversation about memory, identity, resistance, and human dignity. Drawing from the film, participants will reflect on the importance of dialogue among communities, institutions, and fields of knowledge in promoting equality and respect for diversity.
At a time when discriminatory narratives continue to have profound social consequences, events such as this reinforce the need to build bridges and expand spaces for democratic coexistence. The gathering also reaffirms the commitment of civil society organizations and professional institutions to advancing human rights and social justice.
The event is free of charge and will take place at Unibes Cultural, located at 2500 Oscar Freire Street, Sumaré, São Paulo. The event is recommended for audiences 14 years and older.
