IPHAN’s heritage council recognized the Roda de Capoeira and entered it in the Book of Forms of Expression. The roda is a collective setting for movement, music, song, instruments, and knowledge, shaped by Afro-Brazilian resistance and intergenerational teaching. Capoeira was criminalized and stigmatized after abolition, yet practitioners preserved and transformed it. Recognition reversed part of that exclusion, while leaving open how official institutions could support capoeiristas without controlling their diverse lineages and practice.
