A long-term journey on gender and futures, committed to strengthening communities and to thinking about futures collectively, as a political practice. Drawing on memory and ancestral knowledge, the journey begins with workshops on imagining and building futures and unfolds into activities that bring together art, fiction, scenarios and narrative strategies — spaces for creation and breathing room beyond the urgencies of the moment. DESVIO exists to make room for what has not yet been said or considered, and to open paths toward just and livable futures, where all forms of life can thrive. View public report

In Yoruba, ìdòwú is the name given to the child born after twins — the one who moves between the poles and eases the weight of duality. It is also the name of the long-term partnership between Toriba and philosopher Bàyó Akómoláfé, the institute's Distinguished Fellow, devoted to what becomes possible, in thinking, feeling and intuiting, when traditions of the Global South meet. The program unfolds through public dialogues, a trilingual course, publications and an annual, itinerant international festival in Brazil that brings together practitioners, artists and thinkers from many territories. From these unlikely encounters emerge repertoires and exercises in new epistemologies — an amalgam of philosophy and embodied experience — and, from the Global South, a lasting web is woven between ways of imagining and inhabiting the present.

Eight artists from Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, El Salvador and Guatemala on a journey of collective imagination, creation and regional network building. Through grants, mentorship and learning processes, the fellowship invests in original projects by Black, Indigenous, trans and non-binary people, and in the connections between territories, languages and causes.
