The article analyzes practices developed in the Afro block Ilê Ayé (Salvador/BA) as well as examines how this institution constitutes itself as an educational and antiracist space. We present the trajectory of the block, describe some of its actions, and analyze the knowledge that is built from one of them: the election of the so-called Ebony Goddess. Based mainly on interviews with Goddesses – black women elected to represent Ilê Ayê –, we take the notion of Educator Black Movement (Movimento Negro Educador) as central. Our discussions suggest that knowledge is built within Ilê Aiyê daily practices in different fields, giving rise to a social transformation process.
