In 1951, reporter Arlindo Silva and photographer José Medeiros recorded the initiation of iaôs (daughters-of-saint) in a small terreiro in Bahia. The article was published in the magazine O Cruzeiro - the most consecrated at the time - and was the first photographic record of a secret ritual of the African religion.

Black women pounding rice grain in wooden mortar at Agrovila Maruda, a Quilombo in Alcantara, Maranhao State, Northeastern Brazil. A quilombo is a Brazilian hinterland settlement founded by people of African origin. Most of the inhabitants of quilombos were escaped former slaves and, in some cases, a minority of marginalised non-slave Brazilians that faced oppression during colonization.
