We invite you to the seminar "Black Ethnomusicology: Crossroads of Knowledge and the African Legacy in Musical Studies" with the participation of Professor Pedro Acosta (Federal University of Bahia - UFBA), organized by the Research in Musical Anthropology (PAM-USP), the Black Ethnomusicology Collective (CEN-UFBA), and the Black Memory project at FFLCH.
The event aims to share experiences in Black Ethnomusicology through the historical agency of Black people in musical studies, art, and culture. This project, carried out in Brazil together with the community of African Music, Dance, and Dramatic Arts studies, emphasizes the legacy of African and Black knowledge production in its plural forms of expression, as well as the epistemologies that involve each of its practices and knowledge production, whether community-based or academic.
