Mulheres multiartistas: processos criativos entre linguagens artísticas

Abstract

In this dissertation, I investigate how the discourses of multi-artist women are related to feminist, intermedia and contemporary art theories and studies. I present multi-artists who, through their works, question gender performativity and social standards, giving visibility to discussions that move us forward as a society, giving us more ways to reflect and question everything we come across in our life experiences. To this end, I present a set of conversations held with Brazilian multi-artists Carol Botura, Efe Godoy, Marta Neves and Vanessa de Michelis, who talked about their training, their artistic paths and their ways of seeing and understanding the art world and society, so that the theoretical studies of the dissertation are complemented by these conversations and vice versa. This research is interested in understanding the world of art not only from the perspective of art theorists or artists, in isolation, but by investigating the intersections between thinking and doing. In addition, I explore my creative processes based on my experience as a multi-artist woman, reflecting and describing how my creative process takes place between music, photography, video and performance. In my artworks, I address issues linked to politics and the female body in the city, drawing connections between themes and languages that come together and create meaning, unity and identity in my works.
