Between a Show and Some Lives: Music and feminisms in a city of 2020

Músicas e feminismos em uma cidade de 2020

Abstract

The performances of feminism in pop culture will be resumed from the analysis of similarities in the fragments of narratives from two ethnographies. The first, with the incursion in the concert of the band Pussy Riot, with special participation by Linn da Quebrada and Jup do Bairro, closing of the Festival Sem Censura, promoted by the City of São Paulo, in January 2020. The second ethnography is characterized as digital and was produced from the incursion into the lives “Bailinho Covid” of the DanzaMedicina profile, animated by Morena Cardoso, during the social isolation that seeks to face the coronavirus pandemic, in the same year. The text takes the risk of promoting experimentation to produce knowledge about the power of aesthetic experiences in production in the creative boundaries between urban spaces and digital social networks. The similarities analyzed situate the possibilities of transforming understandings and social relationships based on the experience of musical aesthetic enjoyment in urban contexts of 2020, of people confined to their homes and connected in programs on social media platforms.
