Gestão universitária com bases no feminismo e nas práticas artísticas performativas

Abstract

The great social movement in progress in Brazil brings to light the work of women with a direct participation in politics and artistic culture, in an integrated way. This communication aims to report our experience in the university management of the School of Fine Arts of the Federal University of Minas Gerais (2013-2017), as of Academic Director of the School. Through this experience, we highlight the effective integration of university administrative-political work with academic practice on a feminist basis and in the field of Performing Arts. This was an important ethical basis in the exercise of that elected mandate. At different times, we were inspired by performative practices that value gender diversity, the exchange of roles, socializing, crafts, DIY, corporeality and improvisation. We also highlight the creation and organization by us of the Forum Women in University Administration (editions in 2015 and 2016). Finally, it is important to report in this context the event "Occupy Fine Arts", a student’s occupation movement with strong female participation. With that we intend to discuss the strengthening of the feminine in spaces of politics and university representation, the signaling of feminine democratic models for administrative management integrated with the practice of Perfoming Arts as well as evidence of a concrete dynamism or bonding of women with Politics, Arts and Culture.
