One sound that is very characteristic of Havana, is the shouts and whistles of street vendors. I love this installation by Megan Fawn Schlow about these "Street Hawkers", and I was very interested to learn about the connection between this Cuban tradition and the history of slavery

Last week, I went to #ABRE2025 with @silvaperez.bsky.social. We presented on the role of religion in discussions about free womb laws in the Netherlands, Spain and Brazil. I found the other presentations during the panel about women in the transatlantic world very interesting and inspiring!

We are here at the #ABRE2025 conference in Salamanca with the @rm-project.bsky.social. Yesterday we caught an amazing talk by Mateusz Czarnota on Conceição Evaristo’s idea of #escrevivência: writing born from lived experience of Afro-descendent women. Inspiring for our work on #RacializedMotherhood

Project PhD student @idalvos.bsky.social recently presented her research at the 9th Global Meeting of Slavery Past, Present and Future, which was held at the @vuamsterdam.bsky.social. She talked about the role of religion in Dutch and Spanish free womb discussions in the 1850s and 1870s.
