Artes cênicas negras e a educação das relações étnico/raciais em Belo Horizonte

Abstract

The Black Performing Arts present artistic expressions, epistemologies and aesthetics that reveal and affirm their cultural identities. In this study, performances declared in the singularity of their cultures, are loaded with pedagogical possibilities that, in aesthetic experiences, mediated issues related to ethnic / racial relations in theaters, cultural spaces, leisure centers, streets, squares and schools. In dialogue as a school space, the Scenic Arts, the focus of this research, can construct trajectories of cultural mediation that, in a transversal way, dialogue with a demand of approach of History and Black Cultures in the school education of Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. In that way, this study uses conceptual, epistemological and poetic formulations that say of the black theatricalities, as well as, it accesses educational regulations and projects that propitiate the relation between Black Scenic Arts and school. In order to do so, it relies on the publications of Martins (1995, 1997, 2002), Alexandre (2017) and Gomes (2017), to initially structure the theoretical-epistemological conceptions of this research and thus dialogue with archives and publications that reveal creations of the black scene arts from Belo Horizonte and their pedagogical and cultural relations in the school system, from the perspective of analyzing and arousing processes of mediation and promotion between the Black Performing Arts and the school. This study results in the assembly of a “Show-Classes”, which is the creation of a pedagogical elaboration that intersects productions of Black Performing Arts of Belo Horizonte, as a proposal that unveils historical records and epistemes that sharpen the recognition and virtue of Black Arts in Ethnic / Racial Relations Education.
