Rede Kalunga Comunicações

Cultures of Resistance Awardee — Brazil

Rede Kalunga Comunicações was founded in 2022 in Chapada dos Veadeiros, Goiás, Brazil. It is led by a team of mostly quilombola people, including teachers, designers, photographers, writers, and content producers. As an independent communication media company they have many media projects, both in print and online. These are focused on celebrating the culture and history of the traditional quilombo communities, originally formed by escaped slaves in Central Brazil.

Rede Kalunga Comunicações received a Cultures of Resistance Award (CoR Award) in 2024. They used the award for a communications workshop for quilombola youth.
