How have black men and women been historically represented in the media, textbooks, advertisements, and other narratives that sustain racism? Are these representations the mirrors with which we have learned to see the world and ourselves? These and other questions drive us to problematize how the so-called regimes of visualities present in our society influence the education of prejudice. This text, therefore, is born at the crossroads where three research meet to reflect on racism, whitening projects, and the consequent difficulties for black people to identify themselves as black. In this sense, we collaborate with authors such as Gonzalo Curto and Stuart Hall to understand the concepts of visuality regime and representation of black people. We also sought, reading Carlos Skliar and Grada Kilomba, to better understand how the invention of the other takes place, the different ones who should be excluded, takes place. As well as Patricia Collins who helps us with her concept of images of control for the maintenance of the matrix of domination. With these authors, among others, we articulate filmic narratives, oral and imagetic devices and resources to reflect on the images that permeate the social imaginary and that act in the production, maintenance, and actualization of racism in our society.

Keywords : regimes of visuality; images of control; racism.
