Confluence of the Amazon Bowls: Afro-Indigenous Women and Counter-Colonial Experimentations was a full-day gathering dedicated to creating spaces of learning, listening, and collective healing with women from the Amazon. Centered on the themes of silence, silencing, echoes, resilience, and the celebration of life, the event brought together Afro-Indigenous women, Black women’s collectives, Indigenous organizations, women’s movements, and members of the academic community to reflect on the social, economic, emotional, and environmental challenges shaping their daily lives. Guided by rituals, conversations, and cultural expressions grounded in the elements of Air, Earth, Water, and Fire, the meeting sought to honor women’s experiences while fostering alliances and counter-colonial practices that strengthened life, dignity, and well-being across Amazonian territories. Held on December 19, 2024, at UFAM/IFCHS, the event served as a shared space of resistance, connection, and celebration among approximately 80 participating women.
