Ações artísticas na cidade de Macapá: conexões de mundos, trajetória e experiência na Amazônia

Abstract

Strangeness with the city space and professional activity in the area of the visual arts, were the primordial trigger for the realization of this research. The interlacing involved in these two moments of life were mediated by seeing in the artistic actions, potent modes of discussion beyond the embellishment, naturalization and the turning into a spectacle of the Amazônia. Therefore, it was found in the dialogue with eleven visual artists, residents of Macapá/AP city, the empirical field of research, the desire to understand: How artistic productions impact and how its express the experience in the lived trajectory, especially when they interact, integrate and communicate with the sociological-cultural space of the subjects similar to the narratives in the Amazonian context. From a qualitative mark, the research has the perspective to perceive and analyze the lived moments with the Amazonian space and its production of the elaborated senses expressed in the artistic production. The emphasis on anthropology of senses, bounded to the social poetics that present themselves in the daily life and in the subjectivity of the interlocutors and the researcher, are expanded about the city notion and the aesthetic production. Respectively polyphonic and bearers of collaborative worlds, the subjects organize, feel and make the city with artistic production. They are collective and individual agency that reveals visibility and voice taking singled by the individuals experience. Of ethnographic intention, the researchers substantial bond that observe the subjects actions and the social life sense, the research allied the capture of images beyond the record and the illustration of the field in the written text. The advance was to resort to the sensorial dimension in order to participate effectively in the ways of knowing, doing and becoming a researcher. Thus, the curious look and the capture of images, the sensitive listening and the accompaniment of four artistic actions, the writing expresses the lived. In this way, I conclude that the lived experience can be materialized in the aesthetic productions as narratives that tell us the existence of life in the Amazônia in its symbolic and perceptual particularities, and through the narratives they express its respectives politics, economics, social and cultural contexts lived by the subjects.
