This year, I started – together with my mom (who wrote these lines) – a family archive.
We traced our roots back seven generations, collecting family stories, understanding their movements, recording the last songs we can remember, and gathering writings and letters.
My aim was to break the silence and the family trauma connected to Roma in Hungary – a really difficult topic in my family and in the world. After centuries of discrimination, slaughter, and suffering, no one wants to talk about it. There’s a deep fear in facing our own history.
So, to avoid fighting each other, I found a tool that brought us together – made us dance, cry, talk, and understand one another despite very different opinions: Art.
With it, I found things that changed my perception of so much –
I grew up in four different cultures and languages – all so different, even polar opposites.
I struggled a lot with how to embrace this, how not to let myself be brought down by the borders and views that are inventions of a colonial system.
But through it all, I found freedom, to not identify myself with one country or one name – but to recognize myself in every pair of eyes I look into, and in every place I go.
Living and sharing across this places and communities – discovering both the beauty and the difficulty my family experienced migrating across the Middle East, Europe, South and North America.
It feels like tying up loose ends and putting on what generations were forced to suppress.
A deep conversation with myself – because all of this is directly linked to me, and to what I will pass on.
All my life, I was told that Romas are a shame.
I didn’t learn in school about the 500,000 Roma who were murdered during the Holocaust.
My grandfather was the only one who brought me to the neighbors, who taught me songs, and shared this with me.
People carved memory into violin strings.
And somehow, they are gone but all this joy survived.
I found one letter that made me think a lot. It said:
“God, if this is my last breath, let it be a song.”
This is my summary of this research:

Proyección Comunitaria - Cine en Albaicín (Go with the wind)
Con gran alegría, abrimos este nuevo ciclo de encuentros comunitarios de cine en el sur de España; un espacio itinerante para el cine, la reflexión, el arte y la memoria colectiva.
Durante los próximos meses, recorreremos distintos pueblos y ciudades, tejiendo encuentros que inviten a la conexión, el diálogo, la creatividad y la acción consciente.
A través del cine documental, la música y la presencia comunitaria, esperamos nutrir espacios donde las historias puedan sentirse, las voces puedan ser escuchadas y nuevas alianzas puedan surgir.
Nuestro siguiente encuentro tendrá lugar el miercoles 27 de Mayo en @gowiththewind.granada , Albaicin - Granada.
Somos AYELE, una alianza internacional que amplifica las voces de comunidades marginadas, utilizando el arte, el cine y la comunicación como herramientas de resistencia y empoderamiento colectivo.
En esta ocasión presentamos el documental: “YARK’AY – Las Voces Olvidadas de la Amazonía”, dirigido por Selina Giorgio @ceallii
Una obra poderosa y conmovedora que resalta la resistencia y la sabiduría ancestral de los pueblos indígenas de la Amazonía brasileña.
El encuentro incluirá:
· Dinámica grupal de conexión sonora con @mayo_deva_
· Proyección del documental (subtítulos en español e inglés) · Comida y bebidas del equipo Go With the Wind (precios justos)
Este es un encuentro basado en donación:
aporta lo que puedas 🌱, con un mínimo de 5€ para asegurar el apoyo al espacio que nos acoge.
Tu contribución estará también apoyando directamente iniciativas indígenas en la Amazonía. Cada semilla cuenta.
Más que una proyección, buscamos crear un espacio de conexión que fortalezca los lazos locales en Granada y abra posibilidades de colaboración a largo plazo con mujeres, personas migrantes y otros grupos vulnerables de nuestra región.
Ven a escuchar.
Ven a sentir.
Ven a formar parte del cambio.
Sometimes, the greatest beauty makes no sound. It is in the whisper of the wind through the trees, in the way water embraces the stones, or in the sacred silence that only the jungle knows how to keep.
These fragments are part of the documentary “YARK’AY: As vozes esquecidas da Amazônia,” directed by @ceallii . This film is the result of years of deep listening and living alongside Indigenous communities in the Amazon.
These peoples are the guardians of time and the beating heart of the forest. Their way of inhabiting the world, in total harmony and respect, is the most beautiful lesson the rest of the world needs to remember today. An ancestral wisdom that teaches us that caring for the Earth is, in reality, caring for ourselves.
May we honor life.
May we honor the Earth.
In every breath,
in every decision,
and in every daily gesture.
Join us for the premiere of “A World Devouring Machine” at the @cinefront.amazonia .
A documentary by @ceallii in collaboration with @rightsofnaturetribunal that exposes one of the planet’s deepest open wounds.
In the heart of the Brazilian Amazon, the Carajás mine (operated by Vale S.A.) pushes the planet toward a point of no return while extracting the territory, the future, and the life of Indigenous communities.
This documentary, together with the work of the GARN tribunal, confronts us with an urgent truth: the Earth is a being with rights, and respecting these rights is the only way to ensure our survival and that of all life on the planet.
This story, which today remains isolated in the Amazon, will travel to film festivals in Europe to break the silence, reveal what is happening, and amplify the voices of Indigenous and Afro-descendant communities of the Amazon.
Communities that know, in their own flesh, what it means to respect the rights of the Earth… and from whom we have much to learn.
A story of power and resistance.
A call to listen, to look… and to act. Now.
From the Amazon, April 12th to 16th at CINEFRONT Fest.

Meu maior ensinamento em Santa Maria:
A pior coisa que aconteceu na humanidade foi que esquecemos o que é comunidade. Que pensamos que somos fortes quando somos independentes, mas tudo e vida e interligado. Os ancestrais sempre souberam como é importante compartilhar. Isso foi antes que eles nos colocaron em Caixas para nos fazer correr atrás de números. Com a ilusão, devemos ser independentes. Mas asim é que a vida e uma rede enorme, trançada por muitas mãos! Obrigada✨

Ser mulher quilombola
não é apenas ser mãe,
filha, irmã ou esposa.
Ser mulher quilombola
é carregar na pele
e na memória
a força da sobrevivência.
É lembrar que nossas histórias
não começaram hoje.
Elas nasceram muito antes de nós,
nas mãos das mulheres
que plantaram, lutaram, resistiram
e mantiveram viva a dignidade de um povo.
Ser mulher quilombola
é ser semente de resistência,
Mesmo quando o vento é forte,
mesmo quando a luta é difícil,
essa semente continua a crescer.
Porque somos
é raiz.
É caminho.
É força que sustenta a comunidade.
Ela cuida da terra,
cuida das crianças,
cuida da memória
e do futuro.
Por isso, nos reunimos o 28. do Marco
na Comunidade Quilombola Santa Maria do Muraiteua
para celebrar a força das mulheres.
O encontro “Semeando Resistência, Colhendo Liberdade”
é um espaço de partilha,
de escuta
e de fortalecimento.
Com conversas,
palestras,
comida,
histórias
e momentos de união.
Porque ser mulher quilombola
é ser território vivo de história.
É carregar no coração
a memória dos ancestrais
e a dignidade de um povo inteiro.
E quando uma mulher quilombola se levanta,
ela nunca se levanta sozinha.
Com ela se levantam
gerações de mulheres
que continuam semeando resistência
e colhendo liberdade.

Even if we can’t predict the future, we know for sure that it is uncertain. The planet we live on is extremely precious, unique in the Universe. It is undeniable that diversity is life’s deepest strategy for resilience.
If we want an abundant planet, that flourishes for future generations, we now need to embrace and nurture the vast symphony that sustains the Life on Earth.
There is no universal map to trace this path but
We are creative and intelligent beings, so the question is not whether we can invent solutions, but whether we have the conditions and preparation to commit ourselves to them with all our heart.
Diversity flourishes through the actions of those who listen deeply, dream boldly and act carefully. There is no single model or solution, this has never existed: the beauty of life - and human ingenuity, in fact - lies in the richness of our answers.
It resides in the small choices we make on a daily basis, in the way we welcome different perspectives, in the courage to imagine beyond the systems that took us to the edge of the abyss, and in our willingness to do alternative experiments. It is true that global and comprehensive changes are essential.
Creating connections on the scale necessary to achieve these changes, we will be an unstoppable force.
Today we celebrate and we also invite to reflect on the world we have built, and the world we still have time to create. For too long, our societies have been shaped by systems rooted in domination, extraction, and separation. We see the consequences everywhere, in w4r*·, inequality, broken communities, and in the deep disconnection between humans and the Earth.
But across the world, women, and historically marginalized voices have continued to protect and practice other ways of living. Ways rooted in relationship, reciprocity, and collective care. In many of these traditions, often guided by matriarchal forms of leadership, caring for life is not seen as weakness, but as the foundation of society itself.
These voices, so often ignored, hold essential wisdom for repairing the broken social fabric of our time.
At AYELE, we believe that listening to women it is a necessity. Because within their knowledge lives the seed of a different future.
A future where peace is built through relationship.
Where communities rebuild together.
Where the next generations inherit a world that remembers how to care.
This March 8th, International Women’s Day, we honor the voices of women who continue to protect life, defend their territories, and keep weaving community even in the most difficult circumstances.

I believe one of the main reasons our Earth and our societies are so sick is that we have forgotten how to honor women — and with that, life itself.
The system benefits from insecure women. It earns enormous amounts of money from it. The beauty industry is not built on beauty, but on the belief in lack that it creates.
So perhaps the greatest act of liberation is honor.
Honor for oneself, for each other, and for life.
I witnessed something powerful in several matriarchal communities. The way menstruation is honored and how women gather to celebrate it. In some places, people observe the rhythms of women to know when to plant and when to harvest — because Mother Earth truly carries her name.
The more I observed what I had been taught about the body and about my cycle, the more I realized how deeply my ideas had been shaped and manipulated by Western media.
So I try to unlearn.
To rediscover.
To go beyond the idea of what we are supposed to be.
To liberate the mind.
Sisterhood has been a profound companion in my life.
Holding me, teaching me, loving me in the purest way I could imagine.
It is a warm hand guiding me home.
People I know will always have my back.
Fighting, loving, crying, creating, falling and standing up again together.
And still, so many of us are screaming — in anger, in sorrow, and in the call for justice.
Too many have lost their lives.
Too many still cannot live freely.
Cannot go to school, cannot work, are forced into marriage, abused, and killed.
And how Angela Davis says:
I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own.
It’s not about women trying to fit into a system that was neither created by them nor for them. It’s about recognizing this reality and creating something new in our own lives. And all of this begins with honor.
