Um Convite
Quase um ano se passou e muitas coisas e mudanças aconteceram.
Histórias não foram escritas. Sei o quanto é difícil escrever a sua própria história.
O objetivo do " A VOZ NÃO TEM COR" é apresentar histórias de pessoas, histórias de vida que podem aproximar os seres humanos, e diminuírem seus preconceitos.
Segundo a autora turca Elif Shafak, esta tem uma teoria herdada de sua avó que dizia que se quisermos destruir algo nessa vida, tudo o que precisamos fazer é cerca-la em muros. Todos nós vivemos em algum tipo de círculo social e cultural. Todos nascemos em uma família, país ou classe social.
Se não tivermos conexão com outros mundos, além daquele que temos como certo então também corremos o risco de secarmos por dentro.
Nossa imaginação pode encolher, nossos corações podem diminuir e nossa humanidade pode definhar se ficarmos por muito tempo dentro de nossos casulos culturais.
O círculo em que vivemos rodeados de família, amigos que se parecem conosco, nos mostra o quanto estamos cercados com nossa imagem no espelho.
Não é saudável para um ser humano passar muito tempo olhando seu próprio reflexo, por isso na Turquia existe uma velha tradição em que as mulheres cobrem o espelho com um veludo ou penduram na parede de trás para frente.
Temos a tendência a nos agruparmos com base em semelhanças, então criamos estereótipos em outros grupos de pessoas.
Portanto uma forma de transcender esses guetos culturais seria através da arte de contar histórias, que é o que proponho nesse espaço.
As histórias nos aproximam do outro. Ouvindo elas podemos até mesmo gostarmos do que vemos.
As histórias se movem e conectam toda a humanidade.
Termino com um convite para você participar desse espaço.

An invitation
Almost a year has passed and many things and changes have taken place.
Stories were not written. I know how hard it is to write your own story.
The goal of "THE VOICE HAS NO COLOR" is to present stories of people, life histories that may approach humans beings lower their prejudices.
Listening to Turkish author Elif Shafak, this theory has inherited from his grandmother saying that if we want to destroy something in this life, all we need do is about it on walls. We all live in some kind of social and cultural circle. We are all born into a family, country, or social class.
If we have no connection with the worlds beyond that we have for granted then also we run the risk of secarmos inside.
Our imagination might shrink, our hearts may decrease and our humanity can wither if we stay for too long inside our cultural cocoons.
The circle in which we live surrounded by family, friends who look like us, shows us how we are surrounded with our mirror image.
It's not healthy for a human being to spend much time looking at his own reflection, so in Turkey there is an old tradition in which women cover the mirror with a velvet or hanging on the wall backwards.
We tend to we group on the basis of similarities, so we created stereotypes in other groups of people.
So one way of transcending these cultural ghettos would be through the art of storytelling, which is what I propose in this space.
The stories bring us closer to each other. Listening they can even like what we see.
The stories move and connect all humanity.
I conclude with an invitation to participate in this space.
