Theme: Afetos

No TEDxBlumenauWomen 2022 queremos fazer do afeto o eco mais alto, o lugar de mudança, a morada do cuidado e a resistência para seguirmos lutando por nenhuma a menos.

Queremos dar vez a mulheres e meninas que nos afetos encontram a força da transformação, a liberdade de ser quem são, as ideias que movem e o incentivo — que muitas vezes falta de fora, mas vem de dentro.

Não existe evolução sem acolhimento. O afeto é revolucionário.

Ekena

Singer

A generation of strong and empowered women has been emerging, inside and outside the music business. Ekena is one of them. Since 2010 in the music scene, she emerged as one of the great singers of the new MPB in her first album "Nó", released in 2017, where she brought themes inherent to the world of contemporary women. With the single 'Todxs Putxs', Ekena managed to conquer not only the public, but also turn the song into a great feminist anthem, thus debuting in the mainstream media. In a very sincere and autobiographical way, Ekena talks about new beginnings, losses, loves and dislikes, seeking to lift other women, exposing their truths and scars.
