This study has the intention to research the Arturos, a community located in the district of Contagem, MG that keeps the traditions of black Brazilians alive. The objective of this study is to understand the celebration of its members during the Festa do Reinado de Nossa Senhora do Rosario(Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary Festival), the relationships that are established in the process of engaging these individuals in the preparation and involvement alongside this festival, and its implications on becoming an Arturo. The communitys daily life reveals a rich socialuniverse that can be explored from the theoretical approach based on thesituated learning proposed by Jean Lave and Etiene Wenger (1991), and on the ecological approach of the cultural experience proposed by Tim Ingold (2000). An ethnographic study was conducted seeking to delve into the festive practices of the Arturos in order to focus on the festivals nuances and experience it intensely. Theinformation gathering methods used in this study were the field notebook, informal andsemi-structured interviews, and a rich experience with a photography workshop. From the community history and daily revived practices, it was possible to dive into the Arturoscelebration of the Festa de Nossa Senhora do Rosario,revealing their practices, their learning and identities. Becoming an Arturo revealed itself as a constituent of the learning practice process, systematically influenced by daily actions in whichto do/to learn involves power relationships, agreements, negotiations, and conflicts inherent to social life. The act of becoming an Arturoinvolves this festive, communal, identity, and daily involvement.
