Arqueologias íntimas e registros poéticos: um percurso de mapeamento da autoimagem feminina.

Abstract

This study was developed at the Master of Visual Arts Graduate Program at Ufpel. The project proposed a poetic mapping of shared female self-image. From a device called Caixa-Uterus, built collectively by a group of six women, the artist elaborated a poetic path to describe the main lines of force emanating from the objects of the Caixa, producing authorial records in dialogue. The project probed the main themes related to the perception of female self-image suggested by these lines: Relationship with family women, body perception and women in public spaces. This project dialogues with Mitopoética, with “Art as a political act” and with the production of contemporary subjectivity. It also works with gender issues and the feminine as cultural construction from Beauvoir, Gerda Lerner and Butler. As an artistic reference, the work brings Nan Goldin, in her portraits, the art of the unconscious of Remedios Varo, Kati Horna and Leonora Carrington, the textile art of Ana Teresa Barboza and Rosana Paulino, as well as the political art of Olek, and Raquel Rodrigo. . This project was developed through the help of Fapergs.
