Art, design and visual culture of the people: a conversation between women

Abstract

This text is a conversation with women who have contributions to the discussion on art and popular culture in Brazil: Ana Mae Barbosa, Lélia Coelho Frota, Lina Bo Bardi, Adélia Borges and Ivone Richter. Each one placed on their own time and context bring issues that help to expand fixed conceptions on the topic, providing important keys to overcome dichotomies in general established between art and crafts, folk art, folklore, crafts and other productions considered the scope of the so-called classical culture. Based on the authors invited, I submit some reflections on possibilities of working with art and culture in art education, especially crossed with the do in contemporary art.
