Since the opening of theCearáChristmas Light’sCoralwhich consists of 130 children from the

Why the parallel to the
American Statue of Liberty and the end of
slavery?
The statue is of a robed female figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess, who bears a torch and a tabula ansata (a tablet evoking the law)
upon which is inscribed the date of the American
Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776. A broken chain lies at her
feet. The statue is an icon of freedom and of the United States, and was a
welcoming sight to immigrants arriving from abroad.
Bartholdi was inspired by French law professor and politician Édouard
René de Laboulaye, who is said to have commented in 1865 that any monument raised to
American independence would properly be a joint project of the French and
American peoples. He may have been minded to honor the Union victory in the American Civil War and the end of slavery.
Due to the troubled political
situation in France, work on the statue did not commence until the early 1870s. In 1875,
Laboulaye proposed that the French finance the statue and the Americans provide
the site and build the pedestal. Bartholdi completed the head and the
torch-bearing arm before the statue was fully designed, and these pieces were
exhibited for publicity at international expositions.
In 1984, the Statue of Liberty was designated a UNESCOWorld Heritage Site. The UNESCO "Statement
of Significance" describes the statue as a "masterpiece of the human
spirit" that "endures as a highly potent symbol—inspiring
contemplation, debate and protest—of ideals such as liberty, peace, human
rights, abolition of slavery, democracy and opportunity."
Why the Land of LightandThe Regional
Wooden RaftofSeaDragon are a SymbolsofLiberty?
The Sea Dragon in the history of Ceará - Freedom. The watchword ofof bygone 1800s, Ceará, also appoints the wooden regional raft belonging
Francisco José do Nascimento, Chico da Matilde. The wooden regional raft was
brought to the Imperial capital aboard a merchant ship as a symbol of popular
resistance abolitionist in Alencar's Land (referring to Ceará born land famous Brazilian writer). The leader of the fishermen and regional
wooden raft drivers etched his name
into the history as the legendary Dragon of the Sea, triggering the strike of his
companions. His boldness and courage paralyzed the slave market at the port of
Fortaleza onJanuary 27, 30 and 31,
1881. Chico, Matilde's son was then 42 years. Murilo Sá Toledo Sculpture -

Much of the history books omit others moorings and even sparse leaders of the
economic elite of the state took a similar position and stopped the flow of
slaves in their regions and at the borders with other northeastern provinces,
as the account in the history of Ceará, organized by sociologist Souza (Simone)
(p.179). Before and after the strike that immortalized the Sea Dragon,
libertarian movements as the "Company Perseverance and Hereafter",
the "Company Cearense Liberator" and newspapers like the “Libertador”
stand by the struggle against slavery. But it was the firmness of the mulatto
jangadeiro Chico da Matilde which exceeded provincial limits and reached the
Empire, showing the strength of the Northeastern resistance that established
the most popular hero of the abolitionist history of Ceará.
The Sea Dragon is the son of Canoa Quebrada, Aracati. On april, 15 1839, the
Manoel do Nascimento fisherman and owner Matilde Maria da Conceição received
with joy the Chico child. A few years later, at age eight, Chico loses his
father and goes to live with another family. At 20, he learns to read. Becomes
chief catraieiros (boat-wooden regional rafts drivers), working on construction
of the port of Fortaleza, is sailor, and is finally appointed practical of the
Port Authority. With the outbreak of the strike in 1881, is dismissed. Three
years later, Matilde’s Chico pushes boat named Freedom on the boat
slave Holy Spirit to Rio de Janeiro. But the Freedom takes wing and takes
direction uncertain. Journalist Mr. Caruso says the original version in the
pages of his book Adventures of Northeast regional wooden raft drivers.
"The Freedom/(Liberty) wooden
regional raft of Francisco Jose do Nascimento, was the classic,tree trunks. Symbol of a popular victorious
resistance in Ceará, was taken to the Empire Capital aboard a merchant ship and
even traveling in the basement, opens the route of the future adventures of
Northeastern fishermen towards the south. The vessel was displayed in the
streets of Rio January, to the applause of the crowd, and soon is donated to
the National Museum, where she was welcomed as a valuable ethnographic piece
(...). Then the regional wooden raft was transferred to the Navy Museum (...),
where, burned, torn apart or dismantled, disappeared. "
To date no one knows the fate
of Liberty, which united Ceará and remains in the minds of all as the concrete
victory of solidarity between races, creeds and timbres, the hinterland to the
coast. Next to the sailing, the warrior image and flagship of the Sea Dragon.
What is the Sea Dragon Institute?
The Sea Dragon Institute - The Institute of Art and Culture of Ceará
(IACC), whose trade name is Sea Dragon Institute, was the first Social
Organization (OS) created in Brazil in the area of Culture. Linked to the
Secretariat of the State of Ceará Culture, the Sea Dragon Institute is
currently responsible for managing four cultural facilities: Dragão do Mar
Center of Art and Culture, Port Iracema of Arts, Cultural Center Bom Jardim and
the School of Arts and Crafts Thomaz PompeuSobrinho.

The Institute of Marine Science, known as LABOMAR, was founded in 1960
by the Federal University of Ceará (UFC), with the aim of developing research
in marine science in the region. Currently it is an academic unit and holds
undergraduate degrees in Oceanography and Environmental Sciences and the
graduate course in Tropical Marine Science. The Labomar acts performing
environmental research, data collection, outreach projects and environmental
education, forming trained professionals to meet the growing demand for
environmental preservation.
Related activities of Ms. Sobral Borges and
Gomes Rocha to the ancient martial art of African origin
Capoeira Angola, an ancient
martial art of African origin, is one of the many cultural weapons used to
break the chains of enslavement in Brazil. Played close to the ground, Capoeira
Angola combines fluid, dance-like movements with kicks, head butts, tripping
sweeps and the appearance of playfulness or vulnerability. Music is played on
traditional instruments to accompany the players, to teach the rhythmic heart
of the art, and also to mask its power. In the eyes of the enslavers it
appeared to be a joking and playful acrobatic dance, but eventually its power
was realized and Capoeira was outlawed. Death was the penalty paid by those
caught playing Capoeira during the slavery era. For almost 400 years Capoeira
Angola was taught and practiced in secret, and only in the 1930's did this
African martial art become legal to teach and practice.
Mestre João Grande in the roda
Mestre João Grande, a Grand
Master of Capoeira Angola with more than 50 years of experience, is a highly
respected figure in the world of capoeira and has received numerous awards.
These include a Doctorate of Humane Letters from Upsala College in East Orange,
NJ in 1995, and in September of 2001 he was awarded the National Heritage
Fellowship by the National Endowment for the Arts, which is one of the most
prestigious awards for practitioners of traditional arts in the US.
João Grande first learned
Capoeira Angola from Mestre Pastinha, who continues to be his primary source of
inspiration. Mestre Pastinha opened the first Capoeira Angola School, The
Academia De Capoeira Angola, in 1941 in the city of Salvador, Bahia in the
northeast of Brazil. Mestre Pastinha dedicated his school to preserving and continuing
the long tradition of this African martial art, teaching Capoeira Angola as a
path of self knowledge and mastery. Mestre Pastinha was the first Capoeira
Mestre (master) to write a book on the history, philosophy and practice of
Capoeira, simply entitled 'Capoeira Angola.' He went to Africa with his
students to participate in the Festival of African Arts and Culture during the
1970's and also produced albums promoting the unique musical component of this
martial art.
Keeping the Tradition
Mestre João Grande teaches
in the African style, as a way of life, as his teacher Mestre Pastinha did
before him. He often uses metaphors relating to nature, such as the following:
Eu sou fruta madura
Cai do pé lentamente
Na queda larga semente
Procura terra fresca
Pra ser fruta novamente
I am a ripe fruit
Falling slowly from the tree
The impact spreads my seeds
Looking for fertile earth
To be fruit once again
Vincente
Ferreira Pastinha
Entering Mestre João
Grande's Academy, you can feel the energy of Capoeira Angola. The room is
filled with berimbaus, the primary musical instrument of capoeira. Galleries of
rare photos of Capoeira Angola's storied past, as well as photos from Mestre's
travels around the globe, cover the walls. Mestre has a great appreciation for
African culture, both from Africa itself and as it manifests in Brazil.
Beautiful African sculptures, textiles and innumerable mementos from Bahia
decorate the academy.
Mestre has travelled
extensively in Africa, Europe, and Asia, throughout Brazil and the United
States. He first travelled abroad in the 1970's with Viva Bahia, one of the
first groups to perform capoeira and other Afro-Brazilian folk arts outside of
Brazil. He subsequently travelled to conduct Capoeira Angola workshops in
Brazil and worldwide. He has taught for capoeira groups, universities,
colleges, high schools, elementary schools, and civic organizations, amongst
others. If you are interested in having Mestre João Grande teach at your school
or organization, please see the workshops page.
The Master of CENTRO CULTURAL Orun Aiye (Fortaleza-Ce), Rafael Magnata, held every
year the event called "April to Angola", in which Master João Grande (NY-USA) is invited to
participate.

Por que Ceará, Terra da Luz e a relação com a
Estátua da Liberdade?
Na historia do Brasilque aconteceu em 27 de Janeiro de 1881
“Dragão do Mar” se recusou à transportar para os navios negreiros, fundeados no
Porto de Fortaleza, os escravos que seriam vendidos para o Sul do País. O gesto
contriburiiu para que o Ceará se tornasse a primeira província do Brasil a
abolir a escravidão, em 1884. Por causa disso, o Estado recebeu o nome de
“Terra da Luz”.
Por que o paralelo com a Estátua da Liberdade
Americana e o Fim da Escravatura nos EUA?
Estátua da Liberdade (em inglês: The Statue of Liberty; em francês: Statue de la Liberté), cujo nome oficial é A
Liberdade Iluminando o Mundo (em inglês: Liberty Enlightening the World; e em
francês: La liberté éclairant le monde), é um monumento inaugurado
em 28 de outubro de 1886, na Ilha da Liberdade, na entrada
do Porto de Nova Iorque.
Por que Terra da Luz e A Jangada do Dragão do Mar –
Um Símbolo de Liberdade?
Além da contemporaneidade dos fatos relacionados a
Estátua da Liberdade e a Abolição da Escravatura
Americana,pois Na historia do
Brasilque aconteceu em 27 de Janeiro de
1881 “Dragão do Mar” se recusou à transportar para os navios negreiros,
fundeados no Porto de Fortaleza, os escravos que seriam vendidos para o Sul do
País. O gesto contriburiiu para que o Ceará se tornasse a primeira província do
Brasil a abolir a escravidão, em 1884. Por causa disso, o Estado recebeu o nome
de “Terra da Luz”.
Liberdade. A palavra de ordem dos idos de 1800, no Ceará, também nomeia a jangada
que pertencia Francisco José do Nascimento, o Chico da Matilde. A jangada foi
levada à capital do Império a bordo de um navio mercante, como símbolo da
resistência popular abolicionista nas terras de Alencar. O líder dos
jangadeiros cravou seu nome na história como o lendário Dragão do Mar,
deflagrando a greve dos seus companheiros. Sua ousadia e coragem paralisaram o
mercado escravista no porto de Fortaleza nos dias 27, 30 e 31 de janeiro de
1881. Chico, filho da Matilde tinha, então, 42 anos.

Boa parte
dos livros de História omite que outros ancoradouros e até mesmo esparsas
lideranças da elite econômica do Estado tomaram posição idêntica e
interromperam o fluxo de escravos em suas regiões e nas fronteiras com outras
províncias do Nordeste, como nos conta a História do Ceará,organizado pela
socióloga Simone de Souza (p.179). Antes e depois da greve que eternizou o
Dragão do Mar, movimentos libertários como a “Sociedade Perseverança e Porvir”,
a “Sociedade Cearense Libertadora” e jornais como o Libertador se destacam pela
luta contra a escravidão. Mas foi a firmeza do mulato jangadeiro Chico da
Matilde que ultrapassou os limites da província e alcançou o Império, mostrando
a força da resistência nordestina que consagrou o maior herói popular da história
abolicionista do Ceará.
O Dragão do
Mar é filho de Canoa Quebrada, Aracati. No dia 15/04 de 1839, o pescador Manoel
do Nascimento e dona Matilde Maria da Conceição receberam com alegria o filho
Chico. Poucos anos depois, aos oito anos, Chico perde o pai e vai morar com
outra família. Aos 20, aprende a ler. Torna-se chefe dos catraieiros
(condutores de bote), trabalha na construção do porto de Fortaleza, é
marinheiro, e finalmente é nomeado prático da Capitania dos Portos. Com a
deflagração da greve, em 1881, é demitido. Três anos depois, com a libertação
dos escravos, Chico da Matilde leva a embarcação Liberdade no barco negreiro
Espírito Santo para o Rio de Janeiro. Mas a Liberdade ganha asas e toma rumo
incerto. O jornalista catarinense Raimundo Caruso, conta original versão nas
páginas do seu livro Aventuras dos Jangadeiros do Nordeste:
“A jangada
Liberdade, de Francisco José do Nascimento, era a clássica, de troncos. Símbolo
de uma resistência popular vitoriosa no Ceará, foi levada à Capital do Império
a bordo de um navio mercante e, mesmo viajando no porão, inaugura a rota das
futuras aventuras dos jangadeiros nordestinos em direção ao Sul. A embarcação
foi exibida nas ruas do Rio de Janeiro, sob os aplausos da multidão, e pouco
depois é doada ao Museu Nacional, onde foi recebida como valiosa peça
etnográfica (...). Em seguida a jangada foi transferida para o Museu da Marinha
(...), de onde, queimada, feita em pedaços ou desmontada, desapareceu”.
Até hoje não
se sabe o destino da Liberdade, que uniu cearenses e permanece no
imaginário de todos como a vitória concreta da solidariedade entre as raças,
credos e timbres, do sertão ao litoral. Ao lado da vela, a imagem guerreira e
emblemática do Dragão do Mar.
