About the event<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In this second conversation we will be with Meyby Ugueto-Ponce and Rayza de La Hoz sharing about Curiepe in Venezuela and the Palenque de San Basilio in Colombia, two communities that achieved their freedom using different strategies. On the one hand, the negotiation with the colonial system and on the other the rupture through the flight of the slave regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curiepe, a town founded by free blacks, achieved their freedom in the eighteenth century through the strategic use of colonial laws, to consolidate a territory based on legality and the awareness of being descendants of Africans. El Palenque de San Basilio, for its part, conquered freedom from flight, from marooning, very early in the process of conquest, since its inhabitants opted for breaking with the Monarchy. These two experiences show us two different ways of managing freedom, which manifest the wealth of political and intellectual perspectives of the African diaspora and also show the heterogeneity of the processes of resistance and knowledge of the Afro diaspora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
