This action research study addresses sexual health as a critical human rights issue in the disability community. Twelve participants engaged in the co-creation and editing of a series of videos about the dimensions of sexual rights as experienced and understood by persons with developmental disabilities. The participants also uploaded the videos onto digital platforms and took on the role of community educators while incorporating their videos into their larger advocacy campaign.This article begins with a brief review of the literature on sexual health and disability, noting there is a paucity of research that considers storied narratives when exploring the topic of sexual rights and disablement. Drawing on critical disability theory and Freirean pedagogy, the second section explores how a group of adults with developmental disabilities used participatory video as an advocacy tool in disrupting colonial voices through reclaiming histories and leading discussions about their sexual rights. Further implications and limitations to this study are also addressed.

Painted with broad as well as, highly nuanced brush strokes, this is a comprehensive essay. Initially, it traces and later weaves within the larger discussion, the influences of Marcus Garvey’s philosophy and his lasting contributions to Africans in the diaspora. As importantly, the essay highlights the exceptional works of two Jamaican-born artists who reside in the USA. Thirdly, the essay explores some of the Miami-based Diaspora Vibe Cultural Arts Incubator’s, (DVCAI’s) intercultural exchanges, in which artists challenge dominant Western perspectives. Fourthly, the essay summarizes key aspects of DVCAI’s international cultural exchange in Jamaica. The recent, transcultural arts’ exchanges exemplify, reciprocal dialogues between the DVCAI’s representatives and the Jamaican arts community, specifically, with artists who adopt a Freirean pedagogy and focus on significant social justice issues in a postcolonial country.

O presente artigo, realizado durante o período de uma pesquisa de mestrado, esta vinculada ao programa de pós-graduação em educação da UFSCar, campus Sorocaba, tem como problema a epistemologia freireana e o currículo de Sorocaba, tendo em vista que os documentos pertencentes ao currículo municipal possuem fundamentações freireanas e que parte da fundamentação epistemológica da pedagogia freireana se formulou nas obras Pedagogia do oprimido (1981) e Extensão ou comunicação? (1983). Questionam-se quais são os principais referenciais epistemológicos dessas fundamentações e quais implicações possuem na sistematização de tais documentos. Tal processo seguiu o caminho de uma revisão geral. Em primeiro lugar, visitam-se as obras supracitadas do autor, recortando trechos importantes para os conceitos freireanos e comparando-os com excertos de Marx, com quem Freire já demonstra alguma proximidade, buscando legitimar, então, as possíveis influências. Em segundo lugar, realiza-se uma pesquisa documental, visitando os documentos que compõem o currículo da cidade de Sorocaba, para buscar se estes, ao seguirem a obra de Freire, também se comprometem com seus fundamentadores e seus objetivos políticos. Até atual estado da pesquisa, notou-se que há divergências entre as propostas práticas de tais documentos com as fundamentações filosóficas que Freire utiliza. Palavras-chave: Categorias de Freire; Currículo Freireano; Epistemologia.   the epistemology in freire and its relationship with the curriculum of the city of sorocaba Abstract This article, carried out during the period of a master's research, is linked to the postgraduate program in education of UFSCar, Sorocaba campus, has as its problem the freirean epistemology and the Sorocaba curriculum, since the documents belonging to the municipal curriculum have Freirean foundations and that part of the epistemological foundation of Freirean pedagogy was formulated in the works Pedagogy of the oppressed (1981) and Extension or communication? (1983). It is questioned what are the main epistemological references of these foundations and what implications they have in the systematization of such documents. This process followed the path of a general overhaul. In the first place, the above-mentioned works of the author are visited, cutting important passages for the Freirean concepts and comparing them with excerpts of Marx, with whom Freire already demonstrates some proximity, seeking to legitimize, then, the possible influences. Secondly, a documentary research is carried out, visiting the documents that make up the curriculum of the city of Sorocaba, in order to find out if, following Freire's work, they also commit themselves to their founders and their political objectives. Up to the current state of the research, it has been noted that there are divergences between the practical proposals of such documents with the philosophical foundations that Freire uses.   Key Words: Freire’s Categories; Freirean Curriculum; Epistemology.
