Cuia Aracaju, Sergipe, Brazil

Cuia Aracaju is an ongoing space for intercultural and countercolonial dialogue in Sergipe that began in February 2025, bringing together Indigenous and Quilombola communities, women, educators, researchers, artists, and community organizations. Through conversations, exhibitions, workshops, cultural practices, and encounters across territories, the Cuia promotes the exchange of knowledge and strengthens connections among different ways of knowing, with particular attention to Indigenous women’s experiences, identities, territories, and bem viver [Living Well]

The Cuia connects academic and community spaces, including the Federal University of Sergipe (UFS), Aldeia Indígena Xokó, and Rede Solidária de Mulheres de Sergipe (Solidarity Network of Women of Sergipe), creating opportunities for dialogue among Xokó, Pankararu, Pataxó and other communities and territories, with the support of the Abya Yala Pluriversity.
