Black Awareness Day in Brazil
Art to Rescue Our Ancestry
To celebrate Black Awareness Day on 20 November, the figure of Zumbi dos Palmares, a key figure in the fight against slavery in Brazil, will be commemorated on the same date of his murder. The Maloka Association, in collaboration with Museo Situado, will pay homage via a collective concert which, through music, dance and the interventions of anti-racist projects such as Espacio Conciencia Afro (the Afro Awareness Space) and the Sindicato de Manteros (the Union of Street Vendors), honours the legacy of the Black and Afro-descendent population in Brazil.
