The Suburbs of Rio. Loaded with stories, culture and identities, this is the theme of the first season of the Memórias Cariocas Web Series, from Rio Memórias.
In this episode, the suburban origins: from the tabas scattered across the entire territory that today corresponds to the City of Rio de Janeiro, to the establishment of the Carioca quilombos, a refuge for enslaved people and a search for freedom. We show the Fazenda Capão do Bispo, a historical heritage site at risk. We also pay tribute to Mãe Iyá Davina, who brought Afro-Brazilian culture and tradition to the most remote areas of the city.
The video includes subtitles in Portuguese, which can be turned off. This version of the episode included content corrections made by the public, like you. Thank you for participating.
The Memórias Cariocas Web Series is a Rio Memórias production, sponsored by BTG Pactual, Norsul, Kasznar Leonardos and Impulso, through the Municipal Law for Cultural Incentive – ISS Law of the City Hall of Rio de Janeiro and the Municipal Secretariat of Culture.
