Toque: histórias de vidas artesanais, identidades e resistências no Antônio Bezerra.

Abstract

TOQUE presents itself as an artistic installation with handmade paintings and web documentaries (short films), both conceived through the methodology of life histories and personal testimonies of artisans of the Antônio Bezerra neighborhood. By going through their life histories and the individual narratives of dwellers from one in the periphery, who produce handicrafts, the project intends to foment the debate about the consumption of art and crafts and to lead to an academic space (Instituto de Cultura e Arte da Universidade Federal do Ceará) - a great space for the training of new artists and contemporary artistic expressions - a somewhat broader visibility for these women. In addition, to perceive how the artistic expressions made from the hands themselves, influence their relations with the spaces in which they live with the society in its various aspects.
