The events aim to promote the visibility and empowerment of the capoeiristas who are responsible for organizing, performing and evaluating them, in a still masculine reserve area: capoeira. Methodological strategies include ethnography, interviews and visits to other documentary sources, among which we highlight collections related to scientific production, immaterial memory, literature, iconography, film and journalism. In particular, ethnography served as a propitious instrument for the discussion of questions about the struggle of capoeiristas for insertion and permanence in the modality.
