This workshop aims to present the Conexão G Group for LGBT Citizenship in Favelas and its dialogue with the CAPES-DAAD project Spheres of Citizenship: Rights, Borders, Agencies. Spheres of Citizenship is a research project that conceptually and empirically articulates three spheres of the political-normative spatiality of citizenship. It is therefore a space for (re)building and strengthening social, political and institutional links with collectives from favelas and peripheries in Rio de Janeiro, with the aim of monitoring the construction of alternative citizenships, agency and citizen resistances, as well as the production of subjectivation and empowerment practices of historically invisibilised political subjects.

The Conexão G Group is a Civil Society Organisation (CSO) currently located in the Complexo de Favelas da Maré, in Nova Holanda, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, which provides assistance to LGBT+ people living in favela territories. In this way, the research proposal, through a line of connection built with the Conexão G subjects, is close to the Observatory of LGBTI+ Violences in Favelas, a qualitative and quantitative research project that aims to map data on violences and rights violations. Thus, this work aims to accompany the protagonism of the subject of social injustice, through the Observatory of LGBTI+ Violence in Favelas, and to understand how it is reconstituted in the relationship between violence and resistance in the processes experienced in existential territories.

Moderator: Ana Lúcia Santos (CES)
