Sinopse | Synopsis

O documentário aborda o apagamento social dos corpos negros femininos a partir da experiência pessoal e artística de 11 mulheres negras, que debatem identidade, memória coletiva, ancestralidade, afetividades e maternidade. A partir de entrevistas e performances, afirmam-se como corpos políticos que visibilizam suas muitas formas de ser, existir e resistir, ao passo que respondem à pergunta: o que é ser mulher negra no Brasil?

The documentary “Corpos Invisíveis” addresses the social erasure of black female bodies from the personal and artistic experience of eleven black women, who debate identity, collective memory, ancestry, affections and motherhood. Based on interviews and performances, they assert themselves as political bodies that make their many ways of being, existing and resisting visible, while answering the question: what does it mean to be a black woman in Brazil?
