Culture and Education:
a project of valorization of Afro-Brazilian heritage in Potiguar culture
History teaching; RN culture; identity; cultural manifestations.
Through the study of the cultural manifestations from people who historically had the presence and contributions denied, and problematizing the historiographical tradition that affirms the irrelevance of the Negro in Rio Grande do Norte, we propose to develop a project that takes into account the vision of other peoples that form the norteriograndense society, and that favors the understanding of the existing diversity, going beyond the homogenizing discourse that offers little space for the formation of plural identities. In order to fulfill this purpose and in an attempt to deconstruct stereotypes, concepts and ideas about the cultural expressions that are part of the Afro-Brazilian traditions in the state, we intend to set up a portable photographic exhibition, besides conducting interviews with masters of researched groups, raising its practitioners to the protagonism, taking knowledge and forms that constitute the cultural potiguar patrimony to the school.
