Brazil was the last country in the american continent to abolish slavery in 1888 and, today, the largest black population outside Africa lives in brazilian territory. The word "quilombo" originates from bantu, an african language, and it was used by the africans to nominate themselves as an army of invulnerable warriors. Brazilian colonial legislation employed the same term to designate a crime characterized by the encounter of three or more black people. The penalty for this should be the immediate recapture. The biggest and most famous quilombo in brazilian history was Palmares (1605-1694), led by Zumbi, recognized today as a national hero. Palmares it is the only case mentioned in school books and consequently known by most Brazilians, but thousands of quilombolas communities resisted to slavery and afro-indigenous genocide, remaining until now in very far places and with the lowest Human Development Index (HDI) in the country. The Brazilian Federal Constitution of 1988 guaranteed quilombolas the right to get back their territories taken throughout history, but almost thirty years later just a small part of the, approximately, 2.600 recognized quilombolas communities by the Government received their territories back. The right, also guaranteed by law, to differentiated education, which would allow the quilombola people to structure a model more attuned to their ethnic-racial specificities, was also denied.

In this context, in 2006, with the objective of collaborating with the quilombola political action, the project Tankalé - a Yoruba word meaning "to count for the whole world" - was founded. The proposal was, from the outset, to provide workshops for the experimentation of audiovisual production, based on Paulo Freire's pedagogical conceptions for autonomy and freedom. From the debate on oral history, cultural heritage, ethnic identity, rights, art and education, the participants experimented a collective production of a short film, in which they were responsible for the script, recording, editing and the film projection in their own locality .

The project counted, since the first year, with the participation of Crioulas Vídeo, the first brazilian quilombola video team, formed in 2005 after a one week workshop, originated from the partnership between the Quilombola Association of Conceição das Crioulas - located in the rural area of Salgueiro county, Pernambuco, in the semiarid region of the Northeast of Brazil - and the 'intercultural movement' IDENTIDADES - collective composed in 1996 by artists, teachers and students linked to the University of Porto (Portugal). Despite the difficulties of access to information and scarce technical knowledge and equipment, members of Crioulas Vídeo assumed the role of educators and coordinators of the Tankalé in educational activities with young people from 10 other communities in Pernambuco.

It is intended here to make some questions about the experience of the Tankalé project in the last 10 years, using Ranciere and Freire's conceptions of emancipation and freedom. How can the possibility of everyone's learning from everything and how the ethnic identification between educator and students can impact and re-signify educational practices that are expected to colonize in spaces of counter-hegemony? A short film with productions and behind-the-scenes footage from some of the workshops will serve to present the subject and the research.
