Arte/Cular: Vivências e diálogos da arte com o patrimônio cultural e a museologia

Abstract

During the frst six months of 2021, I lived in Vila-Bairro Coqueiro da Praia in Luís Correia, Postgraduate Program in Arts, Heritage and Museology, and the Village Museum headquarters. The municipality is part of the Delta do Parnaíba Environmental Protection Area, created in 1996. During this period, I was part of the daily memory experiences of individuals and families residing in the village, where their lives were a mixture of artisanal fshing arts. The descendants of native populations lived in harmony with nature, raising children, grandchildren, cousins, nephews, a concept of extended family, which includes the Catholic community of the patron saint - Nossa Senhora do Livramento. I was part of the Church’s choral group, establishing bonds of solidarity, and had the privilege of being welcomed to carry out a work of art/education, which gave a perception of myself and others, knowledge, and recognition of the rich and complex cultural heritage and landscape of this singular Village. The Cemetery of Angels, One of their cultural references, was desecrated because of the real estate speculation’s advance and was reconstructed by me in drawings, sounds, images, photographs, and clay models to register the memories and stories of this cultural reference. Social Apply research was used to emphasize qualitative and participatory research associated with oral history and artistic practices. I also, when possible, immersed myself in the village to interact with people, at places where they have as a daily reference, to understand its social logic, geography, people, natural and cultural heritage, using action and bibliographical research associated with the feld research. As one of the results of this work, we present documentaries, an exhibition at the Village Museum and an architectural/artistic project for the construction of Praça dos Anjos, former Cemetery of Angels.
