The Public Prosecutor's Office of Ceará is participating in the 20th edition of the "Primavera dos Museus" (Museums Spring), an initiative promoted by the Brazilian Institute of Museums (Ibram) from September 21 to 27. With the theme "Museums for Everyone," the event aims to expand the dialogue about the right to memory, cultural heritage, social participation, and a sense of belonging. At the Public Prosecutor's Office of Ceará, the activities are coordinated by the Institutional Memory Department, with a focus on the preservation, valorisation, and promotion of the institution's history. As part of the program, the article was published.When Justice Speaks in Verse: Rembrandt Esmeraldo and the Cordel in the Jury's Court, which revives a unique episode in the history of the Public Ministry of Ceará.
The text discusses the work of Public Prosecutor Rembrandt Esmeraldo in two trials held in the 1990s, during which he used verses from popular literature in his arguments before the jury. Subsequently, the texts were organized and published at the initiative of the author himself.
The article is part of the institutional memory preservation efforts undertaken by the MPCE and highlights the relationship between Justice, popular culture, and legal communication, showcasing a creative ministerial approach that marked the institution's history. In addition to the article, the works "The Crime of Chico Pinheiro" and "The Sad End of Vicente", both by Rembrandt Esmeraldo, will also be made available in digital format. These publications include ballads produced by the public prosecutor and contribute to the dissemination of his literary and professional legacy.
The Department of Memory of the Public Prosecutor's Office will also organize a guided visit to the exhibition "Between Lines and Verses: Woodcut and Cordel in the Confrontation of Gender Violence", which is on display at the Cultural Space of the Attorney General of Justice, in Fortaleza. The activity will be followed by a conversation with Prosecutor Ana Cláudia Torres, a member of the State Women's Pro-Women Nucleus (Nuprom). The event will take place on September 23rd at 2:00 PM and is intended for mothers and teachers at the João Nogueira Jucá Municipal School.
