Arte contemporânea na educação : práticas artísticas e criativas em contextos de educação social

Abstract

This dissertation presents the artistic-pedagogical practice as a space for production of knowledge and educational experience in non-formal contexts. Based on the assumption that artistic creation can be a catalyst for new forms of learning, the study analyzes the artistic-pedagogical practice “Exercícios para se Lembrar”, carried out in Espírito Santo in 2023. The proposal of the artistic-pedagogical practice involved the creation of artistic works in dialogue with memory, territory and subjectivity, promoting an exchange between the participants and the educational space. The research seeks to understand how this practice can be configured as an expanded pedagogical field, in which creation is not only an end in itself, but also a mean to develop sensibilities, relationships and ways of apprehending the world. To provide a theoretical basis for the work, concepts of creativity, non-formal education, and contemporary art are explored, with the aim of reflecting on the educational power of immersive artistic practices. In addition to analyzing specific pedagogical actions, the study articulates other experiences that demonstrate how artistic practices can tension and broaden the traditional notion of education. It is considered that, in a context in which art and pedagogy dialogue, new possibilities for training and subjectivation emerge, creating learning spaces in which processes and results are important. Thus, this dissertation proposes a look at the artistic-pedagogical practice as a territory for creative research and artistic experimentation
