In search of Lélia

Lélia Gonzalez. Following the footsteps of this name, I begin the search for my ancestry and to portray it. Professor and anthropologist, woman ahead of her time, a protagonist in activism as part of the Black Movement in the 1970s/1980s, the period during which she traveled through various cities and countries, always affirming her identity and denouncing the myth of racial democracy. A symbol of resistance and the struggle for the rights of indigenous people, black people, and women. The fondness of Lélia guides me along the way.
