Creative resistance

Interactive tour & fight dance workshop

When your freedom has been taken from you, do you resist?

What’s the programme?

When your freedom has been taken from you, do you resist? In this program, you will learn about different forms of creative resistance and the history of slavery. Such as making music, creating posters, and braiding rice into people's hair. After the tour, you will prepare for a real capoeira battle, where you will learn dance and fighting moves that enslaved Africans brought to Brazil. You will also make the music that is part of this together. Capoeira is all about creativity, fun, and cooperation, and the workshop is suitable for all educational levels.
