An anti-racist manual for the arts and the legend Cesária Évora: here is <em>Paraíso</em>, in Braga

Público11 September 2026 at 08:11

The "Paraíso" cycle takes place in Braga, dedicated to African descent, highlighting a session focused on the anti-racist manual that the Black Arts Union is developing. The event takes place during Friday and Saturday in the city.

The Black Arts Union, the organization responsible for the manual, promotes a debate on racial issues in the context of the arts. This document aims to serve as a guide for anti-racist practices in the cultural sector.

The other highlight of the cycle is the concert by the Cesária Évora Orchestra, which performs the music of Cape Verdean singer Cesária Évora. This show celebrates the legacy of the artist known as the "diva of the barefoot."

The "Paraíso" cycle thus brings together cultural programming and reflection on identity and racial issues, bringing music and debate about diversity closer together.
