Em apenas três minutos: o slam e literatura afrofeminina na performance de Gabz

Abstract

This text discusses about an artistic performance made by the singer, actress and slammer Gabz at the final of Slam Grito Filmes in 2017.Since Slam is an artistic-literary practice that has been gaining notoriety nowadays, which democratically enables female writing to be heard and commented and, it works as a space for disseminate afro-feminist literature. Therefore, we aim to discuss the Gabziam poem-slam to understand what it tell us about the condition of woman, specifically black woman over time until the present Brazilian social situation. For this reflection, authors like Santiago (2012); Pereira and Esposito (2019); Neves (2017) are between the consulted. We emphasize, briefly, that the text discussed is constructed by a word-poetry made by those who are tired of being silenced and whose the shout is resistance by itself. It is this resistance that we try to capture here, dispersed in Gabz’s poetic verses. Let’s hear the shout.
