The Terreiro do Pajé Barbosa: political-affective memories of the Pitaguary territory

Pitaguary, image politics, memory; montagem, ethnicity

The main mnemonic tool of this work are the memories of Pajé Barbosa: images produced in the Monguba village of the Pitaguary indigenous people, in Pacatuba - CE, between 2013 and 2022. A significant collection that connects the researcher to the territory and research collaborators , helping to understand processes of autonomy analyzed together with traditional knowledge in their territories. It is a repertoire of knowledge that was organized based on Afro-indigenous cosmology, which contributed to a reflection on methods of learning, knowledge, sharing and collaboration. The resumption of these everyday memories and events was proposed using tools from the anthropology of art to dismantle a fateful scenario and rebuild life, based on a policy of images, affections and arts, knowledge of these traditional peoples.
