Estética dos diálogos: em práticas artísticas comunitárias

Abstract

This thesis is concerned with artistic processes that have been methodologically developed from the perspective of the aesthetics of dialogues, based on findings from practical, procedural experiences and artistic theories constituted in works created between 2018 and 2024. 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.
