In Laguinho, the Amapá Black Culture Centre brings together memory, community organisation and artistic creation. According to the Cetur inventory, it opened on 5 September 1998 with spaces for performances, meetings and cultural activities. Its management is associated with the União dos Negros do Amapá, or UNA.
The centre offers a way to understand Black presence in the city through the people sustaining its traditions. In July 2026 it hosted Quinta Afro, featuring crafts, music, capoeira, batuque and marabaixo. These events illustrate varied uses of the centre, rather than a performance available every day.
Check organisers' programmes and respect the independence of participating groups and religious spaces. Attending an open activity provides an opportunity to hear the traditions' protagonists, beyond simply observing the architecture.
