In this research, the memories of games are the starting point to get to what really interests us, that is, the people of the city of San Francisco, MG, with their lives, their memories, their stories and their understanding of the lived reality. In São Francisco, the memories and stories of these people, full of social experiences lived in the city, are not incorporated or registered in the books or newspapers that \"tell\" the story taken as official in the city. In these productions, the São Francisco River, it‟s navigation, urban interventions and political and economic history are highlighted, ignoring the socio-cultural practices of the residents. These dominant and candied versions disqualify social processes experienced by people transform the Rio into a character, agent of a founding myth, giving it just economic values. Therefore, worried about bringing other stories and another city other than that already established by the dominant memory, I consider the meanings sought by other historical actors printed on the city of São Francisco, emphasizing their social experiences and their differentiated memories, not seeing them only as statistics, numbers or graphs, but as people active in the production process of the city. In this movement, I seek to value and, at the same time, to produce other memories and stories that allow reflection on the social value assigned to Rio São Francisco and also to the life in São Francisco, through the prism of historical subjects that built it. In facing this challenge, we are committed to open space for other versions in order to draw attention to what is not evident.
