O quilombo Vó Rita - Trindade - GO: uma proposta de tour virtual na perspectiva dos patrimônios sensíveis

Abstract

This dissertation investigates the Quilombo Vó Rita, located in Trindade, Goiás, Brazil, and presents a proposal for a virtual tour as a history teaching strategy from the perspective of sensitive heritage. The study aims to problematize the process of heritage education in the municipal public school system, highlighting how the recognition and appreciation of intangible heritage—particularly those linked to Afro-Brazilian resistance and identity—can contribute to multiperspective historical learning and the promotion of social justice. The theoretical framework draws on authors such as Scifoni, Florêncio, and Tolentino (heritage education), Lima and Meneghello (sensitive heritage), Nora (memory), and Alves (history teaching and virtual reality), engaging with related research but standing out for its unprecedented approach to a virtual tour in an urban quilombola context. Methodologically, this is a qualitative, descriptive, exploratory, bibliographic, and field research, developed through visits and interviews within the community, historical surveys, and the creation of a virtual tour hosted on an interactive digital platform. The results indicate the persistent social and historical invisibility of the Quilombo Vó Rita, even after its recognition by the Fundação Cultural Palmares in 2009, and reveal that heritage education, when articulated with digital resources, expands access to silenced narratives, strengthens the sense of belonging, and enables immersive experiences that foster respect for cultural diversity. It is concluded that the virtual tour constitutes an innovative educational product, capable of integrating traditional knowledge and digital technologies, fostering intercultural dialogue, valuing local memories, and promoting the inclusion of quilombola communities within the contemporary Brazilian educational and heritage landscape.
