Connect, Co-create and Transform

MovimenTeia brings forth the proposal of connecting potential partners from different spheres of society to co-create projects aimed at strengthening human dignity, social justice, environmental balance, and cultural richness. We believe that the possibilities of human and environmental regeneration emerge through collective practices—integrating the restoration of diversity as a way of life and embracing poetic experience as a foundation.

Born out of the SASA Project, the platform expands its mission by fostering the creation of continuous collaborative networks, facilitating encounters with the hope that they may blossom into cooperative, creative, and ethical associations.

What is it destined for?

The SASA project is built upon the desire to create intersections and networks across territories of the Global South, recognizing in artistic practices, engaged research, and community knowledge the power to unsettle established modes of knowledge production. More than mapping certainties, SASA has always been oriented toward welcoming doubts—provoking them and moving through them together with those who inhabit the in-between spaces of creation and everyday struggle.

By bringing together people, institutions, and knowledge from different contexts, SASA has sought to create a network of connections that expands the possibilities of research, creation, and cooperation in the Global South. Its goals are directed toward building collaborative methodologies that strengthen lasting partnerships, fostering active listening to local demands, and shaping networks capable of influencing research and funding agendas in the arts and humanities. In this way, SASA aims to be a point of departure for actions committed to equity, political sensitivity, and the recognition of the forces that emerge from the margins.

The team

The Brazilian team was diverse in both background and trajectory: coming from law, the arts, social sciences in health, and environmental and cultural activism. We carried with us stories, bonds of affection, and commitments to the territories where we work, research, and live.

SASA
- WHAT?

The workshop “SASA – Cultivating Connections and Confluences”, held on December 18, 2024, at the Wish Hotel in Salvador, was the highlight of this journey. A full day dedicated to deep dialogue, generous exchange, and mutual recognition. We brought together an impressive plurality of people and organizations, ensuring that the diversity of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation resonated as the keynote of the voices present in the collective construction.
