Abstract

mage and Afro-Bahianity covers the construction of knowledge based on elements indicative of belonging among students of the ICEIA Audio and Video Course by visually investigating traces of the way of perceiving Afro-Bahians in the space defined by the school environment. The idea of reflecting on the other and, in this way, being able to identify him, is supported by Sodré's (1988) discussions regarding culture based on man's relationship with his reality and in this context he analyzes aspects of formation Brazilian society and its cultures, in particular Afro-Brazilian, in which Afro-Bahian culture is inserted. In the sense of image described by Abbagnano (1982) as a mirror that identifies something or someone. The perception of how ICEIA PAV students perceive themselves and are perceived as citizens born and residing in Salvador in contemporary times, initially, comes from a videographic production based on the first attempt to approach the aforementioned public after previous observations. Subsequently, the photographic image acts as a mediator in the relationship with the participants, in the search for traces of Afro-Bahian belonging. The perception of belonging among self-declared Afro-Bahian participants based on their speeches indicated elements of belonging within the categories: image, culture, memory and identity.
