“…The possibility of verbalising their experiences through an artform that is enjoyed, laying claim to societal recognition of their socially marginalised black bodies, is undoubtedly transformational for the life of these young people. As stated elsewhere, "it is through musical and dance expressions that the 'subaltern speak' to the world (Spivak 1988), sending their message in a language encoding and conveying know-how and experiences (see Daniel, 2005;Grau, 1998;Jiménez, 2019), even when delegitimised by the colonial power (see Quijano, 2000). This message is easily spread and becomes even more powerful via the new digital communication technologies and their accessibility."…”

“…Aliás, também é através das expressões musicais e de dança que o "subalternizado fala" para o mundo (Spivak 1988), envia a sua mensagem numa linguagem que constitui uma forma de codificar e transmitir saberes (cf. Daniel 2005, Grau 1998, Jiménez 2018, mesmo quando deslegitimada pelo poder colonial (cf. Quijano 2000).…”

Nos últimos anos, uma série de ritmos musicais foram gerados e difundidos no triângulo pós-colonial entre África, América e Europa e que estão a se projetar a nível global, como: a kizomba, o kuduro, o rap, o funk, o forró, a salsa, o brega, entre outros. Tais expressões musicais e as suas correspondentes práticas de dança têm se globalizado a um ritmo vertiginoso através das migrações internacionais, dos congressos internacionais de dança (Soares 2015) e de plataformas comunicativas na era/geração digital (Feixa 2014), tais como youtube, spotify e facebook (Hutchinson 2014).Esses ritmos têm invadido espaços sonoros cotidianos tanto na internet quanto em canais de televisão, rádios comerciais, espaços públicos e pistas de dança de ambos os lados do Atlântico (Kabir 2014). Nesses trânsitos musicais, de pessoas e de experiências, também emergem questões de poder implicadas pelas diásporas e pelas memórias relativas ao colonialismo e aos locais de origem, provocando um senso de percepção e de sensibilidade estética particulares em contextos fortemente influenciados pela globalização do consumo cultural. Neste sentido, importa ressaltar as sociabilidades alternativas e os estilos de vida inovadores que emergem desses processos, passíveis, por vezes, de subverterem as dinâmicas de segregação urbana, o racismo, a pobreza e a violência, ou contracenarem com elas.O papel de mediação de sentidos sociais através da música tem se mostrado intenso nas pistas de dança, bares, associações, ruas, bairros e outros espaços públicos, muitos deles associados às experiências sociais de marginalização, articulados a presença migratória ou às experiências de imaginários culturais diaspóricos. Produtores, DJs, MCs, músicos e dançarinos são

Creative (en)counterspaces: Engineering valuable contact for young refugees via solidarity arts workshops in Thessaloniki, Greece

This article explores the role of non-formal arts education in Thessaloniki, Greece for fostering contact considered valuable by the young refugee community. Drawing on accounts of their daily life, gathered over eight months of ethnographic fieldwork for a project on their post-15 educational participation, the article details how around the city, young refugees (aged 15–25 years) experience conflicted encounters involving both hostility and solidarity. While this hostility impacts their aspirations, self-image, and feelings of inclusion, a large solidarity movement attempts to counteract these challenges by offering educational activities for ‘inclusion’ such as arts workshops in temporary spaces. These offers were popular among youth in the study, as they constituted a welcoming opportunity for building social connections, language skills, and self-confidence—outcomes that extended beyond the physical space of the workshops. As such, they functioned as valuable, creative ‘(en)counterspaces’. Based on observations from one case study site, this article unpacks the key processes that promoted these valued outcomes—including collaboration, mediation, and informal contact—as well as the role played by arts materials and arts-making practices in these processes. This article also offers key considerations for designing similar activities, such as being sensitive to inclusivity and power relations. It aims to build on the literature on both ‘counterspaces’ and ‘encounters’ by documenting the outcomes young refugees value from contact in these sites of solidarity, and how and why they proactively seek them out; as well as analysing the other actors and specific activities involved in them.
