Mãe Alessandra Ribeiro: Disciplina e espiritualidade | Terreiros Urbanos

In this episode, the Casa de Cultura Fazenda Roseira, in Campinas, reveals itself as a territory where the sacred and culture walk side by side. The narrative highlights the intersection between the ancestral worship of Umbanda entities, the practice of Jongo Dito Ribeiro, and the solid cultural formation promoted by the space. All this work is articulated under the leadership of Dr. Alessandra Ribeiro, a historian and PhD in Urbanism from PUC-Campinas, with studies focused on territories, memory, and representation of African origin. As Mãe de Santo (priestess) of the Centro de Estudos de Matriz Africana Mamãe Cambinda e Cabocla Jurema (Center for Studies of African Origin Mamãe Cambinda and Cabocla Jurema), Alessandra combines spiritual wisdom with her work as a cultural manager and master of the Jongo Dito Ribeiro Community. Her specialized consultancy in Intangible Cultural Heritage reinforces the preservation of these rituals as tools for ancestral connection and strengthening the community's self-esteem. Through this multidisciplinary management, Fazenda Roseira consolidates itself as a living space of formation and resistance. The beat of the drums and the teaching of African traditions serve as pillars in the fight against racism, highlighting how the discipline of the terreiro (Afro-Brazilian religious space) organizes the community. The episode ultimately shows a welcoming center that uses inherited knowledge to promote the protagonism and emancipation of the Black population in the region.
