Linhas de vida tecendo composições do memorial de uma professora em festa

Abstract

The writing of the memorial was activated from a question that accompanied my journey as a teacher-researcher-extensionist: How does the creative process happen and make it an academic life project? It was because of the wind, how it takes our feet off the ground. A windstorm provoked by a whirlwind of texts, speeches, literature, works of art, and with these materials in hand, I started to build a memorial that summons art, the ways of doing art-education in nests that were being built with each stick, leaf, line, paper, placed in boxes. Boxes as a place to store words and make them proliferate in writing. And on each flight in search of something new, but soon realizing a fit in these nests that sprouted and fed lives through affections, on how to inhabit the world in co-existence, in co-creations. A world that is made through immediacy, a concept worked on by the philosopher and artist Erin Manning, as co-existences are consequences of immediacy, which does not elaborate a priori assumptions, they are approximations that happen through the fold of time, in between. In addition to the methodology of the surprise boxes, this memorial was written from the marks that were made in time. Not a chronological time, but a time that I sculpted by creating events in the future. A cartography of the sensitive, of making sprout through the marks an understanding of the creative processes that were constituted along the path of being a teacher-researcher-extensionist. Marks that revealed that a thinking-making-doing, research-creation methodology, happened in experiencing teaching, research, extension, art. And with these terms connected by a hyphen – teacher-researcher-extensionist in this writing created by surprise boxes and brands, a teacher who becomes an artist was glimpsed.
