The event corresponds to the 23rd edition of the "Evidence of Black Cultures" program, entitled "Black Narratives," presented by Shell and held by the Museum of Tomorrow, being the first edition of 2021. Moderated by Kelly Vilela, the debate brought together the yalorixá Mãe Meninazinha de Oxum, creator of the Liberte Nosso Sagrado (Free Our Sacred) movement; the art historian Renan Carmo, assistant curatorial pedagogy director of the Bispo do Rosário Museum; and the museologist Mário Chagas, director of the Museum of the Republic. During the conversation, the intentional silencing of Black narratives by memory institutions, the importance of rescuing the memory and organizing the historical heritage originating from native and African peoples, and the struggle for reparation and shared management of sacred collections were addressed. The case of the collection of objects of African origin seized by the police and released to the Museum of the Republic in 2020, after 30 years of struggle led by Mãe Meninazinha, was highlighted. These objects were transformed into educational material and a tool to combat structural and religious racism. The program also discussed the trajectory of the artist Bispo do Rosário, the neglect of the Valongo Wharf, the terreiros (Afro-Brazilian religious sites) as spaces of science and narrative production, and the need for a plurality of Black voices in the city and in museums.
