When us starts rehearse about representation and self representation of black women in the Brazilian society, we found a feminist criticism of representation in art. The feminist criticism of black women representation in arts, study some aspects over the construction of a figure about black women in the cultural’s discourse. The racism, the whiteness and the patriarchy are a long time writing the creating narratives (inventing the whole and the idea of humanity itself) and choosing who was the right to life and create. The study has a focus on the production of black angoleiras, in the city of Salvador/BA, they developed artistic practices in many languages and the Angola’s Capoeira, art about black resistance is the inspiration for hers creations. The concept of “encapoeirado body” is developed for the black artist and researcher Nildes Sena interview in 2015 for this study about your pieces. It’s about bodies experiencing the Angola’s capoeira and this way, her resistance possibility many dialogs about the body questioning the representation of black women in arts. Black intellectuals like Lélia Gonzales (1984), Sueli Carneiro (2002), Aparecida Bento (2002), Conceição Evaristo (2005;2007), Grada Kilomba (2016) and Janja Araújo (1999a; 1999b; 2007) are the theoretical references for this study. Their contribution shows how the hegemonic narratives about arts and intellectually forced a silencing and stereotype images with one racist view about black women.
