In a round table held this Wednesday, at the 5th Cultural Science Dissemination Meeting (EDICC), Jéssica Balbino, journalist and master in Scientific Dissemination from the Laboratory of Advanced Studies in Journalism (Labjor), said that the voices that need to be heard are from emerging peripheral women. “These voices exist and are not always heard. Interestingly, today, I saw a post on a social network, which talked about the social work that was developed by samba singer Ivone Lara (in memoriam). Few knew about it,” he said. Another voice that needs to be heard by all of society, according to the journalist, is that of Marielle Franco, a councilor who carried out social work in her community and who, unfortunately, was murdered.
The table, whose theme was “Cultural Disclosure – voices and stories that resist and overflow”, took place in the auditorium of the General Directorate of Administration (DGA) and was also composed by Bianca Santana, journalist and master in Education from the University of São Paulo (USP), and Monique Rocco, founder of Núcleo Criadoras Negras (RS) and member of the Mulheres de Pedra collective.

It was inspired by peripheral stories that Balbino created, in 2014, the Blog Margins. “In it, we interview women and disseminate what they think and say, explained Balbino, mentioning the independent media that, according to her, helped peripheral culture to gain a better projection today.
Balbino, who has already ventured into the world of Hip Hop, is passionate about cultural dissemination. She said she is very optimistic about the future, especially when it comes to inclusion. ”I believe that our work helped to introduce peripheral people, black and even indigenous people, into universities. Man, this is progress! A really cool change.”
Regarding EDICC at Unicamp, she was emphatic: “Here the culture is very vibrant and comes from all areas. It is with this type of event that we can bring academia and society closer together.”
Beatriz Guimarães de Carvalho is a master's student in Scientific Dissemination at Labjor and one of the organizers of the event. She informed that for the 5th edition of EDICC, 85 works were selected (communications and oral reports), in addition to workshops, round tables, conferences and the participation of more than 200 listeners.
The last day of the event (26th) will be dedicated to the Seminar "Projor - Media surveillance and development of Journalism", which will discuss the resistance and overflows experienced in the trajectory of Projor - Institute for the Development of Journalism, an entity focused on reflection and improvement of journalistic practice and the free press, known mainly for its creation of the Press Observatory.
