ODARAPERSPECTIVISM: Building pedagogical spaces of resistance and awareness
Odaraperspectivism. Pedagogical Community. Decolonial Studies.
Quilombo. Black intellectuals
The present memorial is a “storytelling” about the path of the “Pedagogical Project Axé
Odara”, which took place at Colégio Estadual Cristina Batista, in Porto Seguro, Bahia,
in the years 2017 to 2019. It is a text result of Griette / Griot technology, the result of
which is the result of a process similar to “picking leaves”, which in candomblé means
that it is not possible to learn anything at once, on the contrary, learning takes place
over a period of time initiatic, which begins but does not have an end in itself. The
course of the project on screen, highlights a necessary meeting of Education with a
category of analysis and studies black, critical, empowered and decolonial, which I call
“Odaraperspectivism”. Such category refers to a pedagogical community based on
Decolonial Studies, to an ethical-critical-reflective-black movement, which seeks to
promote referenced Afro education, collaborating to promote pedagogical spaces of
resistance, awareness and desubjectivation. Included in this memorial are critical
reflections on my praxis and the colonial processes that form hijacked subjectivities.
This text strives to promote a black education whose pedagogy is engaged. In straight
talk: put the quilombo inside the school. Even on the margins and seeking to bypass a
structurally racist, neoliberal and capitalist society, it collaborates to erect black
intellectuals and indecisive subjectivities.
