Stories from the Periphery, told by Silvia Albert Sopale and Kouyate Ansoumane

Workshop
All audiences

A collection of stories from diverse origins, told to broaden perspectives, open hearts, and bring souls closer together. All of these stories share a common thread: the presence of Afro-descendant people as protagonists. Brave, resilient, and joyful individuals who serve as mirrors for us to reflect on and imagine our own lives.

Contes des de la perifèria is a significant work by writer and activist Silvia Sopale that not only tells stories but also acts as a platform for realities often made invisible in mainstream literature.
It is an anthology of short stories that explore identity, belonging, and resistance, using fiction (with touches of reality) to give voice to those who live on the margins of society—the “periphery” being not only physical, but also emotional and racial.

PERIFERIA CIMARRONAS is a space of political affection and Black love. It is a solidarity-based project, a cooperative run by Black and Afro-descendant people who are certain that culture is a form of transformation. It is a space to imagine possible futures as a community.
