Iemanjás reprimidas: artistas negras e museus de Aracaju

Abstract

The present research consisted of delineating problematics from the erasures of the official history of art in relation to black women artists. Having as a cut the museums of Aracaju, sought to analyze how this museological field perpetuates the invisibility of black women artists and for that we used mappings of the city museums and interviews with black Aracajuan artists. The research sought to highlight the social impacts that these absences may have on identity, documentary and memorials, considering the social role of museums and noneurocentric museological practices, emphasizing the role of black women in the field of art as a representative agent and not only represented or portrayed by narratives and badges of the same. In view of this, even with the absence of art museums in the city, it was possible to verify potentialities from a historical, territorial and narrative point of view, presenting ways to an inclusive museology in Aracaju city.
