Promoted by the Judiciary of the state of Tocantins, through the Commission for Memory Management and the Supeior School of the Judges of the State of Tocantins (Esmat), the exhibition on Silenced Voices was in the city of Gurupi on December 3rd and 4th, presenting to the public the judicial record of emancipation of the enslaved person Paula, dated from the XIX century. The initiative aimed to ensure the preservation of the historical memory and strengthen reflection on human rights, presenting to the public material traces that reveal the marks of slavery and its influence on the social formation of the State.
During the visit, the history Teacher Neuzirene Alves dos Santos highlighted the educational relevance of the initiative, stating that the exhibition presented the history of the state of Tocantins in another way, allowing students and visitors to access a little discussed chapter, but essential to understand the inequalities and social structures still present in the region. According to her, the historical document of Paula revealed not only legal facts, but also profound elements about the resistance and daily life of people enslaved in the old north of the state of Goiás.
Among the visitors, judicial officer Hérica Cantareli said that she learned about the exhibition through an invitation received at work and decided to check out the material.
“The exhibition represented a unique opportunity to get to know rare documents and reflect on episodes that usually remain outside the official narrative", she said.
