CinEducar e Partejar Potiguara: teaching filmmaking to indigenous women as a tool of (re)existence

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze some field experiences in the Partejar Potiguara project, which proposed teaching filmmaking to indigenous women in the region of Baía da Traição (PB) in 2019. The goal is to analyze the crossings and affections created in the search for an engaged and transgressive methodology within a context of social struggles and cultural resistance. Since bibliographical selection and the difficulties found in class until the final product (a documentary about childbirth, maternity, life and identity), the purpose is to comprehend the teaching of visual arts and the film production as politic tool of identity affirmation and valuation.
