Coordination of activities:

Anna Carolina Lopes de Azevedo
My name is Anna Carolina, and I am a second-year psychology student at the Institute of Psychology at USP. I have been part of the Indigenous Network since the second semester of 2024, when I joined the Network as a PUB scholarship recipient for an extension project.
Bruna Kaori de Almeida
I come from a family of Japanese immigrants and migrants from Ceará. I grew up in Cotia, somewhere between Greater São Paulo and the countryside, and, as if it were in my blood, I needed to migrate myself to give some meaning to my life. I like life this way, in motion. In this process, I graduated in Psychology from UNESP, learned German, and completed my degree in Languages at the University of Cologne. I am currently pursuing a master’s degree in Languages, also at the University of Cologne, and I am specializing in indigenous cinema. I have been working at Rede since February 2025.
Eduarda Santos Costa
My name is Eduarda, I am 22 years old, and I am a psychology student at IP USP. I have been part of the Network since the first semester of 2024, when I entered college and learned about the project.
I am currently researching indigenous forms of health and well-being and their relationship with modern psychology, as well as their expressions in the Indigenous Network.
Guilherme de Jesus Oliveira (“Oliver”)
As a descendant of migrants from the Northeast, I was born and raised in the eastern part of São Paulo, SP. Throughout my life, I have been able to enter urban quilombos, where my second family was conceived. I carry the memory of my family members in my body and language.
Today, I am a graduate student at the Institute of Psychology and an extension agent for the Indigenous People’s Care Network. I research the confluences of indigenous psychology with quilombola knowledge, especially the contributions of Antônio Bispo dos Santos (Nego Bispo). The study starts from a critique of the excesses of colonialism and aims to promote countercolonial conceptions of identity and corporeality.
Igor Paulo de Souza
 grew up in the mountainous region of Rio de Janeiro, in the city of Magé. As a result of miscegenation, I carry the non-memory of blackness, forgotten pasts and ancestors, as drivers for the fabrication of a possible future. I have a degree in Psychology from the Federal University of Fluminense/UFF and a Master’s degree in Experimental Psychology from the University of São Paulo, the same program where I am currently a doctoral student. My research interests include issues related to human development, art, creativity, aesthetic and linguistic experience, race, and dissident worldviews, based on historical-cultural approaches such as Developmental Psychology, Cultural Psychology, and Semiotic-Cultural Constructivism.
Mariana Marengo de Carvalho
I come from a mixed background, a great blend of both lineages: my father’s lineage, my paternal grandmother comes from a lineage of indigenous people, whose histories have been erased and almost nothing is known about them. And on my paternal grandfather’s side, Portuguese. All of them came from the countryside of the Paraíba Valley. On my mother’s side, there are Italian and Spanish immigrants, people who came from the far interior of São Paulo. I, Mariana, was born in the interior of São Paulo and grew up in Campinas.
I am a psychologist, but I have always sought to understand human care in a comprehensive and integral way. I have traveled to a few places in this country to learn about and understand other ways of connecting with and understanding life. I work in clinical psychology and am currently part of the Indigenous Network through a FAPESP project. It has been a time of much learning and exchange that enriches and gives meaning to my life’s purpose.
Marcus Arcanjo
With one foot in the Mucuri Valley and the other on the trails of the Paraopeba River, I am a native of Minas Gerais, a musician, a software developer, a psychology undergraduate, and a member of the Indigenous Network since 2022, when I arrived in São Paulo from Belo Horizonte. In the Network, we take care of ourselves, our territory, and our relationships, building relational networks that span the Ribeira Valley, Pico do Jaraguá, Bahia, New Zealand, and so many other places. In this intertwining, I believe in a psychology that is affected, territorialized, and embodied.
Paula Zeitoun Miranda
Born in São Paulo, from a meeting of displacements, part of me belongs to the Bolivian Andes, from where my father immigrated, and to the Lebanese villages of my maternal grandparents’ stories, voices, and flavors. Through my body and memory, I return to the mountains from the cracks in the cement, sewing my identity to my Aymara and Arab ancestry. A fourth-year undergraduate student at the Institute of Psychology at USP, I am part of AYNI (Andean Association of Indigenous Migrants), the Indigenous Network, and Black Listening (Escuta Preta).
