Aquilombamento: um referencial negro para uma gestão cultural insurgente

Abstract

The work discusses the emergence and urgency of a cultural management more committed to social transformation, considering the current Brazilian context. The object of this study is the phenomenon of black aquilombamento, understood as an ancestral technology of social organization and cultural production. Based on the understanding that we live in a historical moment of narrative disputes, cultural clashes and identity assertions, the aim was to reflect on the role played by culture today as well as on how cultural management can operate in the deconstruction of dominant social structures and in the creation of other possibilities for existence, in order to respond to emerging social demands. Considering existing convergences in post-colonial, decolonial theoretical-methodological perspectives and in contemporary black radical thought, I also highlight three experiences of aquilombamento in the field of scenic arts in Salvador-BA, analyzing them from the perspective of a political action and from the perspective of a insurgente and engaged cultural management practice.
