Marginais, faveladas, periféricas, suburbanas... A produção de arte contemporânea das periferias e região metropolitana de Belo Horizonte

Abstract

Within the contemporary artistic exhibition scene, there has been a considerable increase in the presence of people from the socially established margins – physical and symbolic –, that is, artists who make up historically subordinated groups have, very recently, received notable attention from public and private arts institutions. In this sense, it becomes relevant to observe and research the various transformations that these groups promote in this field that was once quite restricted and rigid. Artists such as Paulo Nazareth, Dayane Tropicaos, Bárbara Macedo, Estandelau, Luana Vitra, Will, Alfredo Nobel, Massuelen Cristina, Randolpho Lamounier, Yanaki Herrera, in tune with the author's own production of this research, among others, not only tension, rub, question the structures hegemonic, but also contribute with other material and epistemic possibilities capable of significantly expanding the traditional arts system. Thus, the dissertation is organized around three main axes – spatial, existential and educational marginalities – in order to analyze in multiple ways the transformations and, above all, expansions, that such productions, previously marginalized, operate within conservative artistic circuits. In this sense, as diverse and disruptive constructions, the varied identities and marginal manifestations can be seen as fundamental to the structuring of the Contemporary artistic situation.
