Empoderío

Isto é PARTIS & Art for Change 2025

Event Slider

Empoderío tells the story of a group of Roma women from the Otxarkoaga neighbourhood of Bilbao (Basque Country), who came together over several months to learn techniques of representation through improvisation. The film, co-created with this group of women, shows their experience throughout the project, their moments of laughter and reflections on life.

The project was funded by ‘la Caixa’ Foundation’s Art for Change programme and the Diputación Foral de Bizkaia.

This film has Portuguese subtitles. Will be followed by a conversation with the audience.
