HYPERTRIBX | Invocations: A Gathering of Drums, Stories, and Collective Visions

Join us for an afternoon of drumming, songs, stories, dreams, and food sharing to conjure a collective vision for HYPERTRIBX, a newly emerging network of cultural and technology activists dedicated to preserving and sharing Indigenous Knowledges.

The gathering will be led by Mestre Antonio Carlos dos Santos Silva (TC), a visionary leader of the Afro-Brazilian movement, founder of Rede Mocambos and Casa Tainá Cultural Center in Campinas, Brazil. A pioneer of the Free Software Movement in Brazil, TC has spent decades building autonomous networks connecting quilombola, Indigenous, and artistic communities across Brazil and beyond.

Through storytelling and hands-on experience, TC will share the spirit and impact of Rede Mocambos — a movement that, in his words, brings together people and communities to create “a world more our own way.”
