Trans-Atlantic dialogues on cultural heritage began a long time ago between Brazil and Africa and continue to the present day. This conference offers a venue for exploring trans-Atlantic dialogues that consider Brazil and Sub-Saharan Africa, as well as the flow of people, objects and ideas across the Atlantic. Trans-Atlantic Dialogues on Cultural Heritage: Heritage, Tourism and Traditions, etc. will take place. Although there is a strong historic element to the conference, the event will take an interdisciplinary approach to cultural heritage, encompassing such disciplines a Literature, Anthropology, Afrobrazilian Studies, Geography, Science, Technology, and even Architecture
