Abstract
This work seeks to analyze how black popular religiosity underpins and manifests ways of being and belonging, constituting an ethnic territoriality in the urban reality, based on the Quilombola Community of Arturos, located in Minas Gerais. The analysis focuses on the meanings that organize the community life of this group, produced between contemporary urban reality and the mythical reality of their traditions. This characterizes a hybrid and frontier culture where secular time prevails, with a linear and progressive temporal duration, linked to the daily life established by modern urban life; and sacred time, cadenced in a cyclical and repetitive logic, entrenched in daily life through the celebrations inscribed in tradition.
