ABSTRACT
The chapter aims to investigate museological practices in two Brazilian community museums and their role in border activism produced for women: Muquifu – Museum of Quilombos and Peripheral Urban Areas – and Museum Iaiá Procópia. It will approach their digital practices developed from the physical space closures promoted in the COVID-19 pandemic. The diverse practices are observed as strategic tools to preserve counter-hegemonic narratives and value other knowledge about ways to collect, organize, and disseminate Afro-Brazilian memories. Thus, the concepts of museology applied to the Afro-Brazilian methodology highlight the practice of a distinctive quilombola museology, one of the forms of artivism promoted in these cultural centres by people from both communities.
