Fios da memória: tecendo intervenções artísticas na escola com as fiandeiras de Hidrolândia-GO

Abstract

The present text is part of an investigation about the possible connections between the artisanal weaving produced by women from Hidrolândia-GO and the teaching of Visual Arts. The fieldwork will be developed with first year high school students from Colégio Estadual Deputado Manoel Mendonça, located in the aforementioned city. Its objective is to promote exchanges between students and spinners, an important cultural feature of the city. Through this study, I seek to understand how this contact can favor the inclusion of artisanal and popular craft practices in school, interconnecting the formal and non-formal education contexts. The theoretical and methodological bases of the research will be grounded in Ivone Richter's (2008) aesthetics of everyday life; John Dewey's (2010) conception of experience; Jorge Larrosa (2021) and Paulo Freire (1996); Leda Guimarães and Eliane Chaud's (2017) questions about handicrafts, among other researchers. The interlocution between education and local culture can constitute a space of possibilities for the development of artistic practices and development of sensitive knowledge.
