O Mundo De Ana Em Meio Ao Colorido Das Artes: Uma Narrativa Autobiográfica

Abstract

The present text originated from an Undergraduate Thesis (TCC) in the Visual Arts Bachelor's program at the Federal Institute of Goiás. The central aim is to develop a qualitative research based on an Autobiographical Narrative, seeking to explore my personal and formative trajectory to discuss the inclusion of people with disabilities in processes of creation and education. The investigation's objective was to document and reflect upon my life experiences as a person with a disability, using them as a source of knowledge and meaning-making for academic and professional development. The methodological choice of Narrative Research is theoretically grounded in authors such as Clandinin & Connelly (2000) and Josso (2004), who consider life experience as a pillar for both development and research. The theoretical framework mobilizes fundamental concepts of Art/Education (Duarte Jr., 1994) and artistic creation processes (Ostrower, 2014; Salles, 2004), seeking to connect personal experiences with the appropriation of knowledge. This work reinforces the value of study and art as transformative and permanent elements in the constitution of the subject.
