Corpo, casa de memória! dançamos para não esquecer?

Abstract

This text reflects on the body as a space of ancestral, cultural, and historical knowledge, emphasizing Black Dances as forms of resistance and memory in the African diaspora. Dance is presented as a tool for connecting past, present, and future, where Black bodies express their histories and struggles against structural racism. The text highlights the importance of reclaiming and valuing Black dances as part of an Afrocentric worldview, reaffirming identity and ancestry in a context of historical oppression and exclusion.
