Texturas e travessias: vestígios de uma mulher em movimento

Abstract

This undergraduate thesis presents a return to the images, places, people and events that have shaped my life. Through photographs, drawings, paintings, poems and personal memories, I revisit different moments of my history, from childhood to my undergraduate studies in Visual Arts, reflecting on the displacements, affections and concerns that have become part of my artistic practice. Throughout this journey, themes such as migration, feminism, belonging, racial identity and art education are discussed in dialogue with authors whose works have contributed to broadening my perspective on these issues. In this context, the character Mufina emerges as a recurring presence, bringing together memories, fantasies, absences and desires that permeate my work. More than reconstructing past events, this study seeks to examine how different circumstances contributed to the emergence of the artist, the art educator and the woman I am today. Finally, art and education are understood not only as professional fields, but also as ways of making sense of life, producing meaning and imagining other possible paths.
