Nego Fugido em rede: proposta e prototipação de um museu virtual como ferramenta de educação antirracista e valorização cultural

Abstract

Since the African diaspora resulting from the enslavement of its peoples, Black culture and identity have been targets of repression and historical erasure. As a powerful vehicle for ancestral knowledge, the *Nego Fugido* cultural tradition reenacts the struggle of enslaved people for freedom on the streets of Acupe, iconically displaying key elements of the enslavement process in Brazil through its performances. While the timing and location of these events may limit in-person viewing to those with the means to attend, the unique performances held every Sunday in July offer a rich educational experience regarding the history of enslavement in the country; thus, its preservation and resilience over time are crucial considerations. Law No. 11.645 of March 10, 2008, mandates the inclusion of Afro-Brazilian and Indigenous history and culture in school curricula, necessitating the use of pedagogical materials to facilitate compliance. Given the need to preserve Black knowledge and identity—and recognizing the pedagogical potential of *Nego Fugido* as a form of non-formal education—this study incorporates Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICT). The aim is to virtualize elements of this cultural tradition, ensuring the preservation and timeless accessibility of its knowledge while providing pedagogically oriented content that supports school curricula and fosters anti-racist teaching practices. This research presents a prototype for the *Nego Fugido* Virtual Museum, developed through studies focused on best practices for future implementation. Furthermore, the study considers future web deployment, utilizing tools and techniques such as frameworks, code reuse, and web services for multimedia storage and delivery, while demonstrating their application within the modified prototype.
