Three performances for a country that struggles with art
Abstract
During the "II International Seminar on Art / Gender / Teaching in Times of Conservatism", held at the Arts Center of the Regional University of Cariri - URCA (Crato, Brazil), we were able to attend and participate in various artistic performances, an activity with which began every day the Seminary. We present here a visual essay from three performances in which the artists interacted with people in the public space: Tálamo, by Maria Macêdo (08/13/2019, 8:30 a.m., Plaza Cristo Rei, Crato); Bagagem, by Shambuyi Wetu, artist from the Democratic Republic of the Congo currently living in São Paulo, Brazil (08/15/2019, 8:30 a.m., Plaza Cristo Rei, Crato); and Super Zentai, by Rafael Bqueer, artist from Rio de Janeiro (08/16/2019, 9:30 a.m., Padre Cícero Metro Station, Crato). The Seminar was organized by: Research Group Ensino da Arte em Contextos Contemporâneos GPEACC / CNPq, Novos Ziriguiduns Internacionais e Nacionais Gerados nas Artes Visuais NZINGA / CNPq e o Grupo de Pesquisa Ateliê de Pintura: possibilidades e descobertas dos materiais pictóricos / CNPq.
