There is a process of erasing knowledge production dynamics that emerge from the peripheries, from precarious urban areas, located in Hills, Slums, Villages and Tenements. The present research resumes the efforts of recognition and visibility of these productions, having as their field of study the Museu da Maré and its direct relationship with memory production processes, in different situations and with different social actors, involved in the struggle for the permanence and dynamization of the museal culture in the set of favelas in Tide. The dissertation analyzes the strategies and dynamics of local social movements, through the role of their organic intellectuals, the community leaders who founded one of the first favela museums in the world, in 2006. The Museum of Maré is part of the effort of social museology in questioning traditional museology, giving voice to those who have always been deprived of leading their own stories. His museum project summarizes the socio-historical process of producing the urban space of Maré in 12 stages, by describing the daily lives of its residents. Through participant observation and semi-structured interviews, the present work penetrates the poetics of construction and consolidation of collective, insurgent and counter hegemonic memory in Maré. The fieldwork accompanied the set of activities promoted by the Museum, which reveals an organizational praxis of local memory, in contrast to the forgetfulness generated by the hegemonic production of the urban space of the city of Rio de Janeiro, which produces a city producing anticity.
