Abstract

Three groups of the night period participated in the project (8ºE, 9ºC and 9ºD, in the total of 22 stu-dents). From a Freirean perspective, interdisciplinary pedagogical actions were undertaken to guarantee a non-hegemonic epistemological diversity with emphasis on the categories of raciality and deafness. Initial sensitization was based on the film "Hidden Figures" (2016). The duration was of a bimester and involved the subjects of Science, Mathematics, Portu-guese and LIBRAS.
