Prado will start to convene the “Councils of the Pluriversal”—a series of meetings with activists, artists, elders, and thinkers hailing from marginalized groups in Northern nations and the Global South, to discuss the entanglements of climate change, reproduction, ancestral and future histories, land and belonging, and radical forms of care. Prado’s practice activates the often unseen counter-histories of exploitation from the Global South as well as from underrepresented communities in the Northern nations.

Prado takes a poetic-political approach, whereby excess rather than consensus becomes a site of construction for new practices of care and solidarity. Prado is strongly committed to emancipatory and empowering action, especially for indigenous women in Brazil. In the context of the reactionary political shift not only in Brazil but across Europe and around the world, particularly impacting women and minorities, the jury feels that it is of urgent importance to support such research.
