Abstract

This paper was built up through the experiences lived in the circle of the black movement (Instituto Ilê Axé – Ilê Axé Institute) from Juara and the Grupo Centro Cultural Aruandê Capoeira (Aruandê Capoeira Cultural Center). These two groups created the event called Kalunga, in the northwest of the state of Mato Grosso, more precisely, in the municipality of Juara. The event is coordinated by the Ilê Axé/Black Movement of Juara and the research group LEAL/CNPq (Laboratory of Studies and Research on the Diversity of the Legal Amazon), and members of the research group as well as the community in general take part in the activity. The event cornerstone is the visibility of the Afro-Brazilian culture and the history and culture of other Amerindian peoples, their corporeality and religiosity and culture. It has become a space of learning in the education of students, educators and the community as a whole. The learning and the Afro-Brazilian expression highlight the jongo, the Umbanda baptism and the introduction of the orixas worshiped by the Aruandê Institute House of Umbanda.
