Friday, 15th May 2026 - 6 pm to 8 pmBlack & White Room, BLOC, Arts One building, Queen Mary, E1 4PD - London
This event will explore how Stella do Patrocínio’s (1941–1992) speech and Arthur Bispo do Rosário’s (1909–1989) creations defied the logics of the psychiatric institution, Colônia Juliano Moreira in Rio de Janeiro, in which they were both incarcerated for the majority of their lives.
Beginning with a short video recording of Do Patrocínio’s falatório, we will invite all attendees to join us in reading aloud extracts from Falatório/Chatter (ICI Berlin Press, 2025). The book’s co-editor, Marlon Miguel and psychotherapist Wanderley Santos will consider Do Patrocínio’s resistance alongside that of Arthur Bispo do Rosário. All event participants are encouraged to come in with questions and reflections as we read together. MHSJN member Paola Debellis Alvarez will facilitate.
The event will open at 6 pm and run until 8 pm. No advance reading is required; print-outs will be provided to read aloud together during the event. Snacks and drinks will also be provided, and attendees are welcome to stay until 9 pm to continue the discussion informally.
