Exhibitions, performances, Gaymada and lots of close-up bring diversity to the educational center in the north zone
The revolution will be LGBT! Proof of this is the occupation that will take place on the 18th, 19th and 20th of November at CEU Jaçanã, in the north of Sao Paulo, called Pre-for-the Olympics.
The event takes its name from the immensity of sporting and cultural activities that will be held at the educational center, such as performances, conversation circles, exhibitions and even the participation of Gaymada São Paulo!
All attractions have free entry and, despite being aimed at integrating the region's LGBT public, they are open for everyone to join together in a cause in favor of diversity. On Friday, Pre-pa-ra starts at 16pm; and on Saturday and Sunday, from 14pm.
On the first day of the LGBT Olympics, the 18th, the highlight of the program is the opening itself, where the CIA dXs TeRrOrIsTaS will perform a performance called "Queima da Piroca Olímpica", in allusion to the burning of the Olympic torch. In the action, the group will set fire to a family-sized paper mache dildo, in order to discuss the need to end the phallocentric society, symbolically exterminating the oppressive phallus. "This idea arose from a discussion about the way in which the Kurds question patriarchy, eliminating men from extremely powerful roles so that, in their absence, other possible forms of society can be thought of", explains Murilo Gaulês, organizer of the occupation .
On Saturday the busiest programming begins, Gaymada São Paulo, for example, was invited to create a special action on the day. The LGBT dodgeball game that takes place at Largo da Batata every month will join other "envoy" sports, such as Yogay, Futesapa, Vôlei das Bee and zumba in high heels! Furthermore, on Saturday itself, the Papo Mix Diversity Day will take place with a performance by Anderson Azevedo and Guests, as well as electronic DJing with Dj Gui Almeida and shows by Dayanna Gon and Natt Maat.
Closing the program, on Sunday, the 20th, lots of glitter will air! This is because the day will be full of shows, with performances by the band Alameda dos Anjos and the Drag Group Riot Queens. A queer dance floor will be set up there for the beauties to get their bodies moving and sensualizing. The most modest can close the third day with the performance "Meu nome é Deus", by Coletivo Scopo.
CEU Jaçanã will also host three permanent exhibitions. They are: the LGBT embroidery exhibition, inspired by the work of Arthur Bispo do Rosário, "Mantos Lacradores"; the video exhibition "Queer", which presents works by artist Waldiael Braz and his research into Queer Theory and the LGBT universe; and "Population Does Gambiarras Para Sinalizar Os Ruas Da Capital", an exhibition with illustrations by artist Aurore Zachayuss that debate women's conflicts in a standardized sexist society and their possibilities (utopian or not) for reversing this situation.
