Sumario:In this paper, the sinuous movement of the spine and hips is approached to make theuniversity more black and camp, raising the following question: What can black bodies,queers and sapphics do when they gather around a transvestite and black teacher in aclass that intersects gender and race?

The escrevivência, created by the writer and researcherConceição Evaristo, emerges in this work with a qualitative approach as a methodologicaltool intrinsic to an implied research perspective, placed between artistic and scientificproduction of its participants. Escrevivências of bodies that camp up and blacken theuniversity, pointing to a positivity by creating areas of belonging, sharing and collectivity.
