This work recognises betting taking place in a silenced area within an excluded region. The dry Caribbean is a place in Colombia’s geography where black communities have been developing different actions to assert life since decolonisation. The text addresses the pedagogical meaning of the Afro-Colombian Studies Chair, based on devalued cultural practices. Initially a historical, territorial, legal, educational and organisational context, insisting on the need to generate a cultural production policy from the realities of black communities.
