Flores Island
Direction: Jorge Furtado | Documentary |15 min | 1989
Synopsis: A tomato is planted, harvested, transported, and sold in a supermarket, but it rots and ends up in the trash. Is it over? No. Flores Island follows it to its true end, among animals, garbage, women and children. And then it becomes clear the difference that exists between tomatoes, pigs and human beings

I’m saving myself for when Carnival comes
Direction: Marcelo Gomes | Documentary | 85 min | 2019
Synopsis: In the city of Toritama, considered an active center of local capitalism, more than 20 million jeans are produced annually in home factories. Proud to be their own chefs, the owners of these factories work around the clock at all times of the year, except Carnival: when the week off comes, they sell everything they have accumulated
and rest on idyllic beaches.

Open conversation – (In) sustainability and resurgence: the problem of garbage collection and recycling
The problem of collecting, reusing, and recycling solid waste is a global and multidimensional problem that involves environmental, economic, and sociocultural issues. Under the banner of developmental policies, collection and recycling are the activities of around 1 million people in Brazil and the professional performance of waste pickers has been recognized by the Ministry of Labor since 2002. However, necropolitics enclose such workers in vicious cycles of work and pricing that prevent them from reversing the unsustainable logic of waste production and disposal, collection, recycling, and commercialization. This conversation brings together representatives from various sectors who will discuss the topic of the unsustainability of processes, on international, national and local realities

Open conversation – Craftsmanship, participation and autonomy: waste, fibers and the dematerialization of design
Rethinking the way in which we produce, consume, and what we consider necessary means that we are able to build a path that moves away from dependence on natural resources. Thinking and acting towards a reduction in the use of materials, of a reuse and a reuse of waste as means for production becomes an alternative to reconnect in an ancestral way and thus relearn to
be nature.
These processes combined with a purpose of strengthening the subjectivities of the subjects lead to the development of autonomy and the construction of new possibilities for the future. This conversation presents four design practice initiatives aimed at the life and autonomy of productive groups in Maranhão.
