Capoeira Angola

Capoeira is a powerful tool of cultural resistance. Now recognized as an intangible cultural heritage of Brazil, it is celebrated worldwide, promoting cultural resilience through art. The capoeira circle, which combines martial arts, dance, and music, is a vivid display of resistance and skill, reflecting both historical struggle and cultural endurance.

The main objectives of the Capoeira Angola project in the Santa Maria settlement are to strengthen Afro-Indigenous culture in the region, foster personal empowerment among Black and Indigenous children, youth, and adults, and serve as a tool for self-defence and the prevention of child and youth violence.
