Dear Readers,

We present the new number of the ABPN's journal, Brazilian Association of Black researchers, which bases its productions on publishing quality, focusing on promoting the Human Rights of the black population in Latin America and Caribbean. The texts presented here on this 27^th edition contemplate History, Sociology, Education and the Arts, on their different approaches and multiple inter-relations. The Dossier contains a wider contribution with papers that lean over the analysis and interventions about inequality in the art field, brought in the Thematic Dossier "Black Arts" organized by Prof. Nelma Cristina Silva Barbosa de Mattos (IF-Baiano).

This Thematic Dossier gathers works of black young researchers, militants and artists who address the issues around creation, poetics, circulation and interpretation of works of art of this population of artists, historically denied and unprivileged. Research demonstrates that in music, audiovisual, visual arts, theater or dance, black identity becomes the emblematic element of the contemporary artistic production.

We thank the collaborators, peer reviewers, authors, translators, editors, Editorial Board, Consulting Board, Board of Directors and other staff members/partners that enabled publishing this 27^th edition, as well as every researcher. Our sincere thanks to all who contribute to the ABPN's journal!

Modupé (We say thanks)!
