A horta como ateliê autobiográfico em arte

Abstract

In this Master of Arts dissertation, I investigate my artistic creation and production based on A Horta como Ateliê Autobiográfico em Arte and its unfolding in an art tea-ching/learning context. I build this text around the theme of the female body in contempo-rary times and how memory anchors biographical discourses and self-writing in training and aesthetic-artistic production contexts. I go through this text using Delory-Momberger's (auto)biographical research method, which intersects with my experience as a woman artist-teacher. I propose a biographical plastic-poetic work, based on the backyard vegeta-ble garden in an ecocreative elaboration. It is in this connection between the feminine and the earth that I build my poetics, memory, and nature lineage, which unfolds in an artistic investigation/intervention of teaching/learning in art with a small group of girls from a public school in the city of Dom Joaquim where I work and live. The methodology is developed through a series of experimental procedures carried out with seeds, plan-ting, harvesting and food preparation. Involving the areas of knowledge with the dimensi-on of territoriality, corporeality, nutrition, food, ecological art, life cycles, ancestry, local cul-ture, nature and memory. My references include Freire, Delory-Momberger, Josso, Jorge Menna, Louise Ganz, Salissa Rosa, among others.
