This work wants to highlight important moments that constituted the life and work of the educator and political activist Marta Maria Castanho Almeida Pernambuco (1952-2018). Throughout her life she has fought tirelessly against social inequalities and made educational praxis the possibility of inclusion. In this research we chose to consult the documentary sources made available in the archives of the Group for the Study of Educational Practices in Movement - GEPEM and the Group for the Study of Complexity - GRECOM, reading the correspondences and listening to testimonies given by colleagues, friends, students, family members and teachers who at some point they enjoyed living with the research. For theoretical interlocutors we take Paulo Freire, Edgar Morin, Maria da Conceição de Almeida, Michel Serres and Jean-Philippe Pierron. The lesson learned is that life is a constant movement, a permanent opportunity to shower hope.
