Além da névoa: uma intervenção urbana artística em Quixadá com Percy Jackson

Abstract

This study aims to enable the residents of Quixadá to interact with the city and characters from "The Lightning Thief," the first book of the "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" series by Rick Riordan (2009), through an artistic urban intervention. The interaction is based on stickers created by the author, representing Percy's encounters with Greek gods during his journey in the story. The intervention seeks to establish a connection between the stickers and the selected areas for the project, chosen through a field survey. The research draws on theories of Greek mythology, based on Graves (2018) and Branco (2005); the history and impact of "The Lightning Thief," supported by Moraes (2012), Freitas et al. (2024), and Graves (2018); the concept of urban intervention, as discussed by Barja (2008) and Deturk (2015); and the use of stickers as an artistic expression medium, according to Nascimento et al. (2017) and Navarro (2016). An Instagram account was created to showcase the stickers and document the project, allowing for digital interaction with the public. The goal is to give greater visibility to everyday, often overlooked parts of the city and introduce the book to new audiences.
