Metamorfose é vida - inspirando mundos

Abstract

Metamorphosis is a concept intrinsically linked to movement and presence in life, highlighting the constant transformation that occurs in various beings from birth to death. I reflect on the relationship between content and form, the narrative on which this work is based is from the perspective of metamorphosis by the author Emanuelle Coccia, intertwining it with ancestral thought (my own ancestry and that of the original peoples), thus highlighting it as a process of constant re-creation. Seeking artistic and scientific answers to the question Selvagem - ciclo de estudos sobre a vida, author Airton Krenak, biologist Lynn Margulis and philosopher Suely Rolnik. Metamorphosis is presented as a phenomenon that mixes content and form, being a recreation of life, where the experiences and bodies that precede us contribute to our existence. Having the analogy of being a "walking zoo" expressed by the diversity of living beings in all their forms, reinforcing that our bodies share characteristics with countless species. This complex network of relationships highlights the importance of respecting and caring for nature, recognizing that we are true forests within ourselves. As a result, there is a need for a broader approach to biology, going beyond the linear concepts imposed by technical literature, and recognizing a reality that is mutable, cyclical and full of cellular chimeras. With the aim of highlighting the possibility of being an educator who promotes alternative conceptions, recognizing that we experience metamorphosis and are an intrinsic part of nature, I bring a personal perspective of experiences and changes in my life as a black woman generating a new metamorphosis in my womb, exchanging content with a new form, being two lives in a single body.
