Revista Africanidades was created in the context of the pandemic, as a tool to expand our relationships with different audiences, at a time when we were isolated, but it results from an old desire to create a permanent channel of communication and listening, including to feed back their museological and expographic approaches, their exhibitions, cultural and educational activities, among others.
Its creation and production took place thanks to the involvement of the MAFRO museology team, however the continuity and implementation of this proposal will only be possible thanks to the involvement of old and recent partners and partners.

The magazine falls into the areas of: African and Afro-Brazilian cultures; assets; Memoirs; Art; Identities, aimed at the public and general, with emphasis on researchers, cultural producers and
