A guided journey through the trajectories of black women and men who have marked the history of Florianópolis, affirming their presence, knowledge, and struggles in a territory that has long tried to make them invisible.
‌
‌The tour Black Personalities of Desterro is an invitation to recognize black protagonism beyond the margins, placing at the center of the narrative those who have transformed the city with their political, intellectual, artistic, and social actions.
Along the way, names like Antonieta de Barros, Cruz e Sousa, Nega Tide, Valda Costa, among others, emerge as symbols of black resistance and excellence, highlighting that Desterro is also a territory of knowledge production, writing, leadership, and black social transformation.
The itinerary traverses emblematic spaces in the city center, resignifying them based on the stories of those who lived and built them from perspectives that are often erased. More than revisiting the past, this experience proposes a reunion with living legacies that resonate in the present and strengthen the future.
A call for the valorization of black personalities, for listening to silenced memories, and for recognizing that Florianópolis was and is a territory of black protagonism.
