Poéticas interespécies na arte contemporânea brasileira

Abstract

In contrast to the effects of the ecocide marching across the Earth, we initiated a transdisciplinary research between art, philosophy, and science, aiming to map interspecies poetics in contemporary Brazilian art. To this end, using cartography as a method to track processes and flows between culture and nature, we selected poetics that depart from the dominant human logic and approach more-than-human forces, present in the works of artists such as Castiel Vitorino Brasileiro and Jota Mombaça, and we wrote art criticisms that allow themselves to be traversed by these presences. In this sense, contrary to the overly human forms of life of capitalism, our hypothesis is that contemporary Brazilian art has been rehearsing the creation of multispecies futures.
