Quilombos are spaces of resistance for the enslaved black population in search of their freedom, empowerment, and free cultural and religious expression. Many quilombo remnants are now spreading ancestral knowledge, actively participating in the preservation of Brazil's material and immaterial heritage. One of the most well-known quilombos in Brazil is the Palmares quilombo in Alagoas, Maceió. It represents one of the greatest symbols of the fight against enslavement, and one of the greatest figures of this resistance movement was Zumbi.
