Não tive tempo de publicar este desenho que fiz pelo Dia da Consciência Negra no Brasil. As culturas da África estão presentes em muitas partes do cotidiano no Brasil. Um exemplo disso são as rodas de Capoeira, um esporte que é dança, jogo e luta ao mesmo tempo. Ele surgiu quando as pessoas escravizadas usavam música pra esconder quando estavam praticando luta nas plantações do Brasil. Por algumas décadas, a Capoeira foi ilegalizada, mas alguns mestres capoeiristas conseguiram fazer ela ser valorizada. Neste desenho, coloquei a pantera negra e o leão pra representar a bravura dos povos da África, e as cores no fundo são as cores do pan-africanismo.

I didn't have the time to post this pic I drew for Black Awareness Day in Brazil. The cultures of Africa as present in many parts of everyday life in Brazil. One example is the Capoeira presentations, a sport that's a dance, a game and a fight at the same time. It was born when the enslaved people used music to hide that they were practicing fight in the plantations of Brazil. For some decades, Capoeira was criminalized, but some capoeirista masters managed to make it be recognized. In this drawing, I put a black panther and a lion to represent the bravery of the peoples of Africa, and the colors in the background are the colors of pan-Africanism.

Je n'avais pas eu du temps pour publier ce dessin que j'ai fait pour la Fête de la Conscience Noire au Brésil. Les cultures d'Afrique sont présentes au quotidien du Brésil. Un exemple c’est les présentations de Capoeira, un sport qui est dance, jeu et lutte au même temps. Ç’a été créée pendant des esclavagisés utilisaient de la musique pour cacher le fait qu’ils pratiquaient la lutte dans les plantations au Brésil. Pendent quelques décennies, elle a été criminalisée, mais quelques maîtres capoeiristes ont réussi la faire reconnue. Dans ce dessin, j’ai mis une panthère noire et un lion pour représenter le courage des peuples d’Afrique, et les couleurs au fond sont des couleurs du pan-Africanisme.
