The Departments of Anthropology (DAN) and Social Communication (Decom) of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) are participating in the organization of the exhibition Herdeiros de Zumbi: Um Album de Família de Sibaúma, which will be inaugurated on July 25th, at 4pm, at the Centro Cultural Herdeiros de Zumbi, in Sibaúma, district of Tibau do Sul. The exhibition is open to the public.
UFRN is involved in the research and assembly stages of the exhibition, which also includes the participation of the Instituto Moreira Salles (IMS), responsible for storing the photographic collection and providing the images to the Associação Quilombola de Sibaúma.
Created by photographer Jorge Bodanzky, who will be present at the inauguration, the project brings together more than 200 photographs produced in 1968, considered among the first photographic records of a quilombola community in Brazil. The collection has great historical and cultural relevance and, in the future, will form part of the Sibaúma Memory Center.
In addition to the opening of the exhibition, the program will feature the presentation of products developed by extension projects carried out in the community.
Scholarship holders from extension projects, students from Social Sciences, Tourism courses and other areas of the Center for Human Sciences, Letters and Arts (CCHLA/UFRN) participate in the initiative.
The exhibition portrays families from the quilombola community of Sibaúma, highlighting their history and identity. The photographs record a community that resists the onslaught of enterprises, especially in the Pipa region, contributing to the appreciation of its memory and cultural heritage.
The organization invites the entire community to attend the exhibition and learn more about the history, culture and trajectory of the quilombola community of Sibaúma.
