ABSTRACT
This article results from the study of Freire (2000;2001;2016;2017;2020;2021), works with post-memory editions, from which the concepts are taken: indignation, awareness and hope. It opts for the bibliographic review to analyze the Brazilian reality and issues related to contemporary education. The study justifies the passage of the centenary of Paulo Freire's birth, which matches with profound changes in the educational system, the Covid-19 Pandemic and the context of contradictions of power and culture. The result reveals that indignation mobilizes, awareness is action in relation to the object translated into thought and hope is the movement that involves human subjectivity. It also points out the inconsistency of conclusions about the future from this context and its adversities, since the historical-cultural approach adopted in this study takes the complementary category of action-reflection as a possibility for human beings to produce their own history. © 2022 Curriculo sem Fronteiras.
