Live at the Braço de Prata factory in Lisbon, in an intimate atmosphere that featured the public intervention, Georgina Angelica and Paula Cardoso received as guests to journalist Catarina Marques Rodrigues and the multifaceted artist Selma Uamusse, for a conversation under the theme “make room for the unexpected”.
In this special episode of such a podcast, hosts inaugurate a cycle of meetings that aim to bring podcasters and audiences closer, from conversations about what unites us, pushes and mobilizes to listen, talk and act.
The proposal joined, last June 22, Catarina Marques Rodrigues, author of the podcast “Dona da Casa”, which is part of the program of Antena 3, and Selma Uamusse, one of the presenters of “Five to Quinta”, a format presented in Antena 1.
Challenged by Georgina Angelica and Paula Cardoso to “make room for the unexpected”, Catarina and Selma shared their commitment to building a more inclusive world from dialogue.
“We need to stop thinking that we are owned of reason, and hear more,” suggests the singer, author, songwriter and performer, adding that “at a time when we want to have a speech space, listening teaches us a lot.”
But to what extent do we have the ability to cultivate silence in a world where noise gains more and more stage?
Catarina recalls that there is a place of self -protection when we consciously choose not to say anything. “Silence also leads you to the tranquility of feelings that you don’t have to start a war on each time you are wronged, or that you are seen with a look that is not right.”
Between what is silent and says, Selma recalls the importance of paving the way for new meetings.
“How do I come to the other? Through love. And that has to be what takes me the fear of talking to a person who voted for arriving, with a person other than me. Where there is love there is no fear.”
Perhaps he lives there, in this absence of love, the explanation for the barriers that we rose around us.
“Fear is the root of many of our problems. The fear of losing power, of not being important, of others coming to replace, of not being what we might be, because of others and the system that others created, the fear of everything, and ourselves.”
Here buried and so ground, how to escape?
Selma exchanges personality cults for the cultivar of communities. “I change home, and the first thing I do is touch the bell [dos vizinhos] And say, Hello, I’m Selma, this is my husband, these are my daughters, if they need something, we are here. I will need you. ”
In the availability for the other, we realize, perhaps, that the human heritage that connects us is much larger than the inhuman perceptions that move us away.
“The real problem is not Gypsies or trans people, it is a narrative to put us at war, and see the other as our enemy,” Note Catarina, while Selma adds, “We need to get back to this super futuristic scene that is together with each other.”
The podcast wants to continue to open this space, so on September 28th returns to the Braço de Prata factory, with the live recording of a new episode.
