Baía das tartarugas: museu popular para que a memória da vila de Jericoacoara permaneça viva

Abstract

In recent years, the village of Jericoacoara has been subjected to increasingly intense processes of tourism without social and environmental responsibility, real estate speculation and gentrification. As a result, many elements of the native cultural heritage have had their survival threatened (capoeira, fishing, crochet, constructive knowledge, among other cultural manifestations). What is observed is that, of all the (quite large) capital that circulates in this village as a result of its tourist effervescence, almost nothing is reversed in quality of life for the population and in mechanisms for the preservation of the cultural and ecological heritage of the place. . Thus, this project sought to draw an overview of the current scenario of the village, based on a historical review and on a study on the culture and socioeconomic and spatial configuration of the place. From this reading of what is configured today as the reality of the village, a popular museum was proposed, which aims to strengthen community ties and encourage a type of tourism that is more engaged with the cause of preserving cultural and ecological heritage.
