History of Quilombos

In the Quilombo Machadinha, located in the Municipality of Quissamã, the narratives about ancestors have textures, flavors and smells coming from the kitchen

In the city of Magé, along the railway line that runs through the city, is located Quilombo Maria Conga.

Two generations, mother and daughter, Mrs Landina and Rejane are leaders of Quilombo Maria Joaquina, located in Cabo Frio, and battle, every day, for the preservation of memories and sociocultural practices of the group.

The culinary and the gastronomy are arts of connection. Often, in the kitchen, around the table, meaningful stories emerge for those that share.

Zungu, Candomblé, samba: cultural practices contemporaneously performed by Remnant Community Quilombo Pedra do Sal These practices, as arts of living, were built through the relation of black people to the port area of Rio de Janeiro City, along over four centuries.
