The methodology that makes up this research is mainly inscribed in the field of practices situated in the geographical context, with the interest of providing support and care to Thalena, Vó Hilda, Terezinha and Luzia, four affected women from different territories of the Rio Doce basin. Through four performative residencies based on care, this research has been developed with the purpose of supporting the struggles of the affected communities, through an exhibition created thanks to the records and materials of the four residencies carried out, as well as through a series of conversations with women, artists, researchers and the general public. This has served to reflect on the current situation of the territories and on how we can support, care for and strengthen this struggle that belongs to all of us.

"Noise” presents an insurgent presence, with meanings and purposes that go beyond aesthetics, populating spaces in Internet Art, camouflaged or coupled to the new technologies of Digital Art for the provocation of a continuous guerrilla. From the intertwining between noise, perception, social context and political positioning, a field of forces — where historical transformations reverberate from the beginnings of activism to the libertarian movements of art collectives — opens up to the conceptual neologism of artivism and the result is a more forceful and contemporary thematic production. Basic concepts and numerous relevant references such as Jacques Rancière, Manuel Castells, Paulo Raposo permeate this investigation that moves through interfaces and connections in networks in which we follow with Sergio Basbaum, Gilbertto Prado, Julian Assange, to experience interactive visual and sound catharses in the embodiment of the digital, explicitly revering the artists and theorists Diana Domingues and Rosa Menkman. Here we will see, above all, manifestos and artistic manifestations that build the ideology of noise as a message.

Based on what I call Amefrican religions, I highlight, specifically, the living experiences at the Caboclo Sultão das Matas Umbanda Terreiro, located in the city of Juazeiro-BA, in the heart of the São Francisco Valley. Starting from on studies of sacred settlements and the elements that make them up, I emphasise the presence of itás/otás/okutás (sacred stones) in order to create bodies-objects and images-words, resulting in three-dimensional works that reveal the techniques, procedures and materialities of the artistic rites that take place in the “Lab-Oratório”, the guiding concept of a creation methodology in Visual Arts based on the Art-Umbanda-Nature trinomial. The poetic results of this research were presented in a solo exhibition entitled ‘Three stones within this village’.

The generating materials were conceived as a creative ecosystem, in which the artist/researcher has as raw material the theoretical elaborations of collaborative art, socially engaged practice and executed works as the guiding beacon of investigative research: Edible Cities (2023), Congo Band, from the community of Piapitangui (2021 to 2024), monuments of love for the Rio Doce (2019), Magic of the Mermaid (2020), Coletivo Conscientiza Piapitangui (2020 to 2024) and Araçaoca (2014 to 2024) were generating works and the observatory for the concept of the aesthetics of dialogues, which is coined here in order to determine different procedural and collaborative commitments in the creation of works of art, in which all stages of elaboration are shared. From the creation of social practices, a new creative system pulses in the possibilities of being an artist. Art revolutionizes methods and transforms its gestural essences into sharing. It also shows that the process is much more interesting than the end result. Through this process, the work itself becomes a link of love and hope between human beings and the model of art centered on praising the artist and paying attention to their personality is demystified. This work is centered on a double immersion: on one side of this thesis is an artist who produces his work with the methodology of the aesthetics of dialogues and total community engagement; on the other, a researcher who, immersive in the artistic process, analyzes his own creative process and the meditations that generate the current of research.
