CineClube THEPE anti-racist peripheral audiovisuals as a teacher training tool

Abstract

This article presents an ongoing extension project carried out within the scope of the THEPE research group (HISTEDBR-Baixada). The continuing education activity focuses on the theme of Education for Ethnic-Racial Relations, linking formative contexts to the promotion of critical debates on racial issues. The didactic-pedagogical action aims to reduce the gap between theoretical training and teaching practice through the affective-political reality provided by Black cinema. Thus, the first stage of the course involves the elaboration of its organizational structure, the curation of anti-racist films, the registration of teachers, and the collection of impressions about the topics covered through semi-structured questionnaires. The subsequent phase refers to the analysis of the qualitative data collected, tracing the formative trajectory of the teachers and evaluating the film club practice as relevant to art education and counter-visuality, committed to the construction of an anti-racist teaching subjectivity, in dialogue with the conditions and urgencies of the Baixada Fluminense periphery.
