“The Health and Intersectional Perspectives discipline of the Postgraduate Program in Medicine and Human Health and the Psychologist, Diversity and Health research group will, this year, be dedicated to the meanings of health and how care practices are permeated by racist narratives, sexist, patriarchal and colonial. The visit to the museum aimed to raise students' awareness of the importance of Afro-Brazilian culture in ways of caring and the power of colonial narratives in erasing this culture”, explains Mônica Daltro.
For research group member Mítian Fonseca, the trip helped the student have a different view of their own reality. "We are located in a territory with a majority of Afro-Brazilian ethnicities. Having taken this trip to the museum, at the invitation of Professor Mônica, was an opportunity to learn a little about the history of black people who were brought to Brazil, snatched from their reality and that here they built another reality. With this, we learn to look at people in a more humanized way, with a greater concern regarding the discrimination that our population suffers, observing the role of health, which is also to insert who is excluded”, he declares.
