Incubadora preta - trajetórias e desafios de um jovem negro na criação de uma plataforma virtual para o ensino afrocentrado em produção cultural

Abstract

This work is a memorial from my life trajectory transversalized to the Incubadora Preta initiative - cultural training for black agents. This initiative provides a virtual space for exclusive training for self-declared black people (black and brown), with articulation for the Brazilian cultural production market. The project develops pre-production, production and post-production concepts, encouraging the creation of artistic projects for fundraising public notices. In its four training cycles, the project dialogued with one hundred and thirty people from sixteen states in Brazil. In this work, I aim to synthesize this experience as a mediator of the teaching of cultural production and management, in dialogue with the concepts of Afrocentricity and black agency (ASANTE, 2016), in a fully digital environment. My biggest challenge, from sharing my reported experiences, is to have legitimized my trajectory as an articulator of art education, production and cultural propositions that generate a new perspective for the life of the Brazilian black community, which is often in the margin of the subordination of work and in the perspective of absence (IMJA, 2018) of its artistic potential. In the methodological quest to develop cultural production and management skills, I applied four different modes of mediation in each training cycle that I supervised, between the years 2020 and 2022. The research is also guided by thinking about education and teaching in the classroom at author bell hooks, who argues that gender, race and class are intrinsic in the way we are perceived by the world and on the importance of intersectionality in the way of teaching. Thinking about making the work more accessible and understanding how potent oral communication is, an audio recording of the written TCC was developed. Finally, I consider that the practice of cultural production and pedagogical mediation has its crafts in ways of doing and learning, understanding that there is not a single structure, but different tools to be tested from the different contexts of work and training.
