In the second formative session of Mix Literário, Cidinha da Silva and Tatiana Nascimento discuss the creation of short narratives — short stories and chronicles as territories of invention, memory, and dissidence.
Author of more than twenty books, including Um Exu em Nova York (winner of the 2019 National Library Award) and Parem de Nos Matar! (Stop Killing Us!, finalist for the Jabuti Award), Cidinha da Silva is one of the central voices in contemporary Afro-Brazilian literature. Tatiana Nascimento, a poet and translator from Brasília, author of Palavra preta (Black Word, finalist for the 2022 Jabuti Award) and winner of the 2024 Pallas Literature Award with Água de maré (Tidewater), explores in her writing what she calls “literary cuíerlombismo.”
Together, they share their creative processes and reflect on how narrative brevity can become a form of resistance and linguistic reinvention.
