Jairo Santos Araujo, is graduating in Architecture and Urbanism from the Federal University of Bahia. During this period of formation, I sought to align my research thinking strands, seeking to articulate the field of architecture and urbanism with the field of the arts, exploring different languages and graphic and cartographic narratives, starting from the need for epistemological revision that encompasses the black experience in the process of production of the city. Soon in my first years of college, I joined the extension research “2 de Julho neighborhood plan” that sought through collective participation to create a defense instrument for one of Salvador’s most traditional black neighborhoods. Even in the early years, I joined the Model Architecture and Urbanism Office – Curiar, whose purpose was to create an interlocution between the faculty and the low-income population that could not have access to an architectural professional. From the middle to the end of the course, I entered the research “Narratives and cartographies of the black presence in the city of Salvador between the middle of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century”, where I was able to deepen my understanding of the city, placing the Negro as the great urban development of the city, and through the construction of cartographies and deepening in readings the opportunity to write to present, so far, two articles in congresses, Salvador and His Colors and XCOPENE – X Brazilian Congress of Black Researchers.
