Fromthis perspective, the text does not function as a simple record or explanation of the work, but as a space for elaboration, traversedby processes, affections, and reflections that emerge from the artistic practice. The research adopts the autoethnographic methodas its theoretical and methodological foundation, understanding it not merely as a self-narrative, but as a critical practice that re-inscribes personal experiences traversed by social, historical, and symbolic structures (ELLIS; ADAMS; BOCHNER, 2011). Here,autoethnography allows us to explore the boundaries between individual experience and collectivity, developing a poeticinvestigation centered on the female body and the power relations that constitute it: the violence, norms, and silences that shapeits possibilities of existence. The video art interweaves personal records, reappropriations of archival material, and “testimonialperformances” , a concept developed by Geovanni Lima (2025) that understands performative action as embodied expression,grounded in bodily memory. These elements compose a narrative that raises the question: what does it mean to grow up as awoman? By bringing together childhood, adolescence, and adulthood through the lens of Leda Maria Martins’s (2021) “spiral time” ,in which past, present, and future do not succeed one another linearly as Western logic proposes, but rather intertwine, the workexplores transitions between inside and outside, the intimate and the collective, memory and fiction. The discussion extends to therelationships between body and image, analyzing how the female body is historically represented, disciplined, and produced as asocial category, in dialogue with Simone de Beauvoir (1949) and Susan Bordo (1997). It also establishes dialogues with works byfemale artists who explore themes of femininity, subjectivity, and regimes of visuality, such as Fernanda Magalhães, Dara Birnbaum,and Pipilotti Rist. From an anti-colonial and intersectional perspective, the memorial highlights normative structures and symbolicviolence that shape the experience of dissident bodies, considering how gender and sexuality influence ways of existing, narrating,and producing. At the same time, it affirms the power of the artist’s text as a situated form of thought, in which writing and practiceintertwine in the production of sensitive knowledge. At the intersection of theory and creation, the memorial constructs a spacewhere memories take shape, affects become form, and the artist can elaborate, perform, and reinvent her own trajectory. 2026-03-23T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/49201 Title: Diário “vislumbres de que ela está ali”: a poética materna do enquanto como trama da produção artística e acadêmica Abstract: This work investigates motherhood as the driving force of artistic production, taking as its theoretical axis the Poética Materna do Enquanto (Maternal Poetics of the Meanwhile), proposed by Marta Mencarini Guimarães (2024). The research is structured through autoethnography, which allows intimate experiences to be embraced and connected to the social sphere, legitimizing everyday life as a space for artistic and academic production. The study unfolds as a diary and, throughout its course, revisits earlier series of works that preceded the central production, such as How to Discover Being a Daughter from Being a Mother, marked by the elaboration of painful feelings; Dequitação, developed in the Graphic Processes Studio, where the materiality of printmaking and the poetics of the archive were explored; and Dilatei e Expandi, a serigraph that affirms the creative power of the maternal body. The core of this monograph focuses on the painting series Vislumbres de que ela está ali (Glimpses that She Is There), composed of five works that depict fragments of domestic spaces traversed by the presence of the child. Produced from photographic records of the home, the paintings establish dialogues between the intimate and the collective, between everyday life and artistic creation, between memory and invention. The process unfolds not despite interruptions, but through them, affirming pauses, fragmentations, and fissures as legitimate modes of artistic production. As a result, this research points to motherhood as a creative and investigative force, reaffirming autoethnography as a fertile methodology for studies that seek to blur the boundaries between life, art, and academia. 2025-09-24T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/48987 Title: Quadro vermelho: entre o céu e a Terra 2026-03-24T00:00:00Z https://repositorio.ufu.br/handle/123456789/48898 Title: Crescer mulher: investigação poética sobre a experiência feminina da memória, identidade, heranças e construção do eu através da prática artística Abstract: The present study investigates, from a poetic perspective, how contemporary women artists transform their lived experiences and feminine inheritances into artistic productions. The study analyzes how these investigations dialogue with the author’s own research on the relationships between identity, memory, visual poetics, and the construction of the self in artistic practice, as well as the recurrent use of the color red in these productions. The research articulates theoretical reflection and artistic practice, emerging from the experience of growing up as a woman and from the process of mourning the loss of three important female figures. The work establishes a dialogue with artists and authors who discuss memory, body, identity, and female ancestry. As a result of the investigative process, the author produces works in different media, presented in the solo exhibition “Crescer Mulher”, held in 2025. 2026-03-25T00:00:00Z
