memórias afrodiaspóricas e a Arte Literária de Mulheres Negras

Abstract

In this article, from the research Project Memories that Come from Words: Museological Views on the Literatures of Black Women, we seek to highlight more and more the importance of the thoughts of black authors for Museology. We understand that the scientific and artistic productions of black intellectuals enable us to broaden our reflections about Afrodiasporic memories and heritage, thus contributing to the construction of teaching practices and musealization processes that are anti-racist and anti-sexist. Through the prose of black women authors, we seek to build analytical tools for museum theory and practice. In our investigation, we establish a democratic and respectful dialogue between science and the literary art made by black women. These literary writings produced by black women authors are treated as epistemic foundations and word heritage, they open windows for us to imagine other possible worlds: the research served to ground us and to tense the narratives museum about Afrodiasporic memories and, furthermore, collectively guide us to create strategies that contribute to unraveling colonialities that still permeate museum structures.
