What Clarice Lispector had to say to the Minister of Education? Come to our Happy Hour Online to find out. 🍷

“Because "who am I?" creates a need. And how to satisfy that need? Those who wonder are incomplete.”
Clarice Lispector

Our upcoming Happy Hour Online will be in Portuguese! Gather with us to hear the letter Clarice wrote to the president to get her citizenship, "The Conjurings of Dona Frozina" and two chronicles, and stick around for a relaxed conversation with us and our invited artists.

*** This is a free online event.***

For those who can, please consider making a donation to support Group.BR and the artists involved.

The Zoom party D/BOA keeps evolving and getting better and it's now D/BOA - W/ONDERS! And it continues with a great lineup featuring a variety of Brazilian rhythms and virtually connecting people while we need to be socially distant.

It's not just a great party but also a fundraising platform to support people in need and this week part of the raised funds goes to the Group .BR NY Brazilian Artists Fund and an organization in Brazil working to reach social justice through art. Come party for a cause!

Group .BR New York Artists Fund will offer a one-time, first-come-first-served $250 donation to Brazilian artists in New York State impacted by COVID-19. It will also support Group .BR’s operations and online programming during restricted times of face-to-face events allowing us to pay the artists involved. We hope to help as many artists as possible. The more YOU give, the more WE give.

“Um Dia a Menos” é um dos últimos contos escritos por Clarice Lispector (1920-1977), já no ano de sua morte. O texto fala da solidão e dos possíveis muros que às vezes levantamos, sem perceber, ao nosso redor.
SINOPSE: Uma mulher vive só, na mesma casa onde nasceu e cresceu. Ela tem diante de si a árdua tarefa de atravessar mais um dia inteiro sozinha, dentro de casa. Mas, esgotada pela repetição infinita de sua rotina, ela tem um rompante inesperado.

ÀS TERÇAS E QUARTAS: (De 07 a 29 DE JULHO), ÀS 17H (Brasil). Com Ana Beatriz Nogueira e direção de Leonardo Netto. Mais informações aqui.
