To thinking the horizon of art and contemporary education

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the relationship between the visual arts and basic education, taking into account the emergence of new ways of inhabiting schools, such as those that have arisen from occupations in public schools by students in Brazil since 2015. It is believed that both art and education, understood as expanded and open fields of thought, can mutually learn other ways of facing the urgent needs of our time as regards basic education in Brazil, with special attention to the visual arts in this context. For the proposed discussion, we have taken as theoretical interlocutors philosophers such as Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben and Jacques Rancière, among others, raising questions about the form of art which has been taken to schools and what kind of artistic experience has been developed in them. We understand that schools today require ways to act and to conduct oneself within the visual arts that meet what currently takes place in the common experience shared by their inhabitants.
