With poetry, in poetry... this was the trip to visit territories of resistance and black culture in Bahia by the Redes Candeal extension project group from Bahiana. On November 10th, the month of Black Consciousness celebrations, students and teachers from the project carried out a cultural visit to the cities of Santo Amaro da Purificação, Cachoeira and São Félix, in Recôncavo Baiano.
The activity was part of the pedagogical actions and experiences developed by the project and highlighted the importance of recognizing territories and their multiple sociocultural influences as determinants in the process of health, disease and care. The programming had the logistical support of the Bahiana and was coordinated by professors Gerfson Oliveira and Lavínia Boaventura.
During the trip, students and teachers declaimed poetry, recited verses and tales from African roots, listened to songs by composers, singers and artistic groups in the region. At the stops, it was possible to visit historic buildings, churches and museums that tell important moments in our history.
In Cachoeira, the group had the support of a local guide who narrated the history of the city, its people and the importance of the black population in the achievements of Brazil's independence.
