Abstract

This text questions the visibility and invisibility of  Afrodescent in Laguna, taking as reference the church of Nossa Senhora do Rosário. I consider the apparitions of that temple, in landscape photographs,  as something that prompt us to think about experiences, memories and resonant stories of African slavery and racism. The photos, in which appears the church of  Rosário, are understood as evidence of the role of Afrodescendant in a seaside town from Southern of Brazil and, at the same time, revealing the hiding process, in the texts of the locations memorialists,  of Africans and their descendants, either in the enslaved condition, free or freed.
