35ª Reunião Brasileira de Antropologia - Cerimônia de abertura

Welcome to the 35th Brazilian Anthropology Meeting! ANTI-RACISM AND PLURIDIVERSITY “In the middle of the road, gliding waters” At this 35th Brazilian Anthropology Meeting, we continue moving forward, like gliding waters, and consciously demarcate the anti-racist position as indispensable to anthropological work. We also celebrate the plurality of experiences and subjectivities and the diversity of people, cultures, and knowledge. Anti-racism and Pluridiversity is the theme of our meeting and is also a call to renew our commitment to doing Anthropology that is even more attentive to power asymmetries and their effects. The theme mobilized in this 35th RBA seeks to strengthen an Anthropology that is guided by a genuine desire “for reparation and for well-being,” as we learned from the March of Black Women. Our Brazilian Anthropology Association welcomes and is pleased to invite all those involved in Anthropology to the 35th Brazilian Anthropology Meeting. Our in-person meeting will take place between July 13th and 17th, 2026, at the Federal University of Goiás. We are preparing everything to welcome you to UFG, in Goiânia! We fondly remember that Goiânia hosted the 25th Brazilian Anthropology Meeting in 2006. Today, 20 years later, we inhabit a city and a University even more committed to equitable, just, and restorative knowledge and practices. The invitation is to update our memories, to (re)encounter and (re)discover ourselves in the Goiás Cerrado, irrigated by the fresh waters that, in their course, flow, converge, circumvent obstacles, and reveal possible paths, giving rise to diverse, beautiful, vibrant, and just life. The 35th Brazilian Anthropology Meeting will take place in the heart of Brazil as yet another opportunity to reaffirm the centrality of Brazilian Anthropology in the production of robust science in alliance with the fight against inequalities and violence. Our meeting will feature exchanges of knowledge and communications of anthropological practices attentive to the necessary and urgent actions that are anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-ableist, and anti-discriminatory. May we collectively take another firm step towards the political and epistemic pluralization of anthropological practice, forming a front to combat structural inequalities and in the pursuit of the right to live without fear, with the guarantee of rights and in a truly democratic society.
