The number of profiles, groups and pages dedicated to African-based religions content has grown on social networks, such as Facebook and Instagram. It is this perception that motivates us to contribute to the debate about what conceptions are (re) constructed about African-based religions through memes. We follow the paths of social research, with a qualitative approach, theoretically basing ourselves on Everyday life, Cultural and Decolonial Studies. We built the research corpus selecting memes to think, based on the power of the self- designation macumbeiras/os, on how thinkers-practitioners of social networks are producing displacements and causing movements that increase the power of making their knowledges-and-how-to-dos visible, actions that intersect in multiple possibilities, that provide flow of forms and the reinvention of a hegemonic logic present in forms, ways of perceiving and (re) knowing cultures of African origin. We confirm that oppression is concealed by the idea of tolerance and by the superficial exaltation of rights, also sometimes naturalized by the lack of knowledge; however, there is production of other meanings that legitimize and exalt non-hegemonic groups.

Palabras clave : African-based religions; Memes; Social Networks.
