Mafuane Oliveira shares her reflections after three years of work dedicated to Afro-Brazilian civilizing values, oral traditions, and listening methodologies. In her research, she discusses the representation of black culture in the visual arts and education, highlighting how the recovery of African roots can enrich the construction of identities and raise the self-esteem of black people. Mafuane highlights the importance of oral narratives and the role of the community in education, integrating ancestral knowledge with personal experiences in the academic context. She emphasizes the need to balance oral and written knowledge, defending the recognition of both in educational environments, in addition to promoting a reflection on diversity, cultural inclusion, and the preservation of collective memory through storytelling.
