Abstract
The article addresses the relationship between teaching heritage and the effective teaching of African and Afro-Brazilian history and culture in the architecture and urban planning course. Given this context, we reflect on our territory, namely, the municipality of Iguatu, which is part of the Center-South region of Ceará. Iguatu is marked by a unique historicity due to the influences of indigenous peoples and their descendants, which has had an impact on cultural heritage, such as the street market. Therefore, the objective of this research was to analyze the Iguatu street market as an African legacy in teaching heritage for architecture and urban planning courses. We are based on the Afro-descendance method, we carry out bibliographical research and field practice, which takes place through pathography, in the streets surrounding the public market, the place where street markets took place in past centuries, and continue to do so. We used photographic records as a data collection technique, using this instrument to capture the local reality as a representation for a critical analysis of the aspects found. We understand the Iguatu-Ce street market as a social space for the production and recognition of local Africanities, acting as a ground for realizing and valuing the diversity present in African and Afro-descendant history and culture.
