From a personal and critical perspective, the author analyzes how contemporary Black artists mobilize personal and historical archives to question hegemonic narratives about Black families, proposing, through artistic production, an attempt at symbolic reparation. Photography is understood as a complex event, with colonial origins marked by the logic of capture, but also as a means of self-determination and agency for Black people. The study develops through a visual journey of memory, reflecting on how photographs, personal objects, and orality act as affective archives that reveal stories of belonging, individual experiences, and Afro-diasporic strategies of organization, manifested in the formation of expanded family ties.

This is a qualitative and quantitative research, which has benn anchored in discurssions that havealready been accumulated on the theme of racial inequalities in access tho Education. The censuses of the MEC, INEP, IBGE and CAPS were used to map the number of black students recently enrolled and/or graduating in postgraduate courses in the mentioned areas. We also discussed the narratives of eight cis, black women, master’s, doctoral and postdoctoral students in graduate programs, through semi-strutured interviews conducted remotely and in person. Given the information analyzed, it was possibilite to conclude that there is a “scientific loneliness” that permeates the trajectories of the women interviewed, due tho the lack of representation in academic and professional spaces and in citation policies. It was also identified that all students accessed the vacancy reserve for black people, most went through a hetero-identification board, and those who requested it had access to the scholarship. Therefore, I understand that, with these results, affirmative actions in graduat studies are, to a certain extent, being implemented, and there is still a need for greater monitoring regarding the permanence of students in stricto sensu courses in the health area at UFBA. Ih was also observed that access to educational spaces has provided a change in the economic status of the women, but this does not prevent them from being victims of racism and sexixm in the academic and professional spaces.

Historically, studies have focused on the figure of the Iyalorixá, neglecting other forms of female protagonism essential to the daily life and ritual continuity of Afro-Brazilian religious communities. This research seeks to fill this gap by analyzing how these roles are portrayed in classical and contemporary works and by confronting these representations with the lived experiences of equedes in the Ilê Axé Oyá Tolá terreiro, located in Candeias, Bahia. The study adopts a qualitative, phenomenological approach, combining theoretical contributions from anthropology, history, gender studies, and religious studies. Methodologically, it integrates participant observation, semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, and autoethnography, considering the researcher’s dual position as equede and investigator. Additionally, a systematic literature review was conducted using the ProKnow-C method, which enabled the construction of a bibliographic portfólio. Searches were carried out between September 2023 and January 2024 in databases such as Google Scholar, CAPES, BDTD, and SciELO, using keywords related to the research objectives. Of the 90 initial publications identified, only eight were directly related to the topic, complemented by seminal works absent from the databases. Results reveal that classical literature tends to reduce equedes to auxiliary roles associated with domestic tasks, disregarding their sacerdotal and political dimensions. In contrast, recent publications and field data highlight the centrality of these women in maintaining liturgy, organizing community life, and transmitting ancestral knowledge. Equedes emerge as spiritual and social pillars, responsible for coordinating rituals, managing resources, and ensuring the continuity of religious practices. By integrating theory and practice, this study contributes to the recognition of female ancestral knowledge and expands interpretative horizons on Candomblé as a dynamic, plural, and resilient practice.
