The curriculum, both of basic education and teacher training, are still built in a colonial and colonizing perspective, which means, white, male, eurocentric and excluder. Therefore, the objective of this article is to discuss the possibilities of building a diverse and multicultural curriculum, inspired by the Afro-Brazilian worldview, centered on the figure of the orisha Exu, as part of the project to resist coloniality. For this, we dialogue with post-colonial Afro-Latin American studies, with Afro- Brazilian social thought and as ancestral epistemologies of the black people. From this discussion, through a theoretical study with the bibliographic, we analyze the tensions about the curriculum in contemporary times and announce as possibilities of resistance and creation of a diverse, polyphonic and multicultural curriculum.

Keywords : Curriculum; Decolonization; Afro-Brazilian culture; Exu.
