Escrita preta sobre arte-vida: trajetórias de enegrecimentos

Abstract

This Dance bachelor final work addresses my school, university and artistic trajectories as a black man and how, in my journey between school, university and dance creation, I become aware of my blackness, social class and desire to produce activist art. In this work, I sought to reflect with Neusa Santos Souza, Djamila Ribeiro, Silvio Almeida, Sueli Carneiro, Bia Ferreira, Grada Kilomba and others. I address the creation of my first contemporary dance solo entitled “PREtexTO COR[age]” (2018), and a series of artworks developed from it, with related issues, namely: “COM-JULGAÇÃO” (2019), “Livro -arma” (2019), “Pra ficar mais claro eu escureci” (2020) e “Conscientização de Cam” (2020). In addition, this text deals with how my life trajectory and my awareness are imprinted in the art I produce, realizing how they are inseparable from one another.
