Linhas emaranhadas, retalhos e fragmentos desconexos: processos criativos em artes visuais que, a partir do encontro, permeiam bares, avenidas e casa

Abstract

The starting point for this research is the shared experiences with Beliza Guedes (72, cultural producer, embroiderer, art educator) between 2019 and 2024. Drawing on Kastrup’s (2007) readings, it is understood that the encounters prior to 2022 (the beginning of the research) were already part of data production, even if in a virtual form, assuming that virtuality is updated from something that was already there. These are fragments, initially disconnected, that were cast into my memory and came together to build this work. I focus on three aspects of this encounter: the bars (where most of our meetings take place, serving as spaces for the embroiderer to exchange her experiences through orality), the route (the path I take between my house in Aldeota and hers in Iparana, awakening reflections on the city and my own process of deterritorialization), and the house (where Beliza, the artist, manifests herself through her embroideries, allowing us to explore her atelier). These three aspects serve as artistic triggers for works that take shape throughout the writing process, creations developed through continuous lived experience.
