Three pages of an imaginary schoolbook in museographic dimensions refer to discoveries related to the Yoruba mithology and its spread in Brazil and Cuba. Elements of Osun, Iyemoja and Sango, deities of the Yoruban Pantheon, are mixed with historical characters like Fidel Castro or Zumbi dos Palmares. The work addresses multiple layers of resistance in History and points to non-western cosmologies, knowledges and philosophies.
