Mapeamento cultural da UFMG: 2019-2021

Abstract

This text presents results from the UFMG Cultural Mapping research and resulting reflections. The exercise of mapping culture in universities is part of a movement towards institutional recognition of cultural projects and practices that has been growing since the creation of the National Culture Plan. In 2020, UFMG began the UFMG Cultural Mapping research with the aim of carrying out a survey on UFMG's cultural agents, spaces and actions, recognizing its external partners and, based on the analysis of the data collected, reflecting on the practice of culture at the university during the years 2019, 2020 and the first semester of 2021. The semi-open questionnaire was used as a data collection instrument, via Google Forms. After data collection, these were tabulated, georeferenced and also systematized in spreadsheets, networks, interactive maps and infographics. UFMG's cultural mapping enabled the recognition of the institution's cultural agents, spaces and actions, underlining the vocation of transversality of culture and the expressive presence of UFMG in society through the interactions of its agents and spaces with the city, state and country. Such results will contribute significantly to the future construction of the UFMG Culture Plan.
