Resistências poéticas nas artes visuais de artistas negros: por uma “quilombagem estético-afetiva”

Abstract

This thesis sought to list black authorship in the field of contemporary visual arts, whose poetics and imagery allow the visibility of works whose aesthetic potential favors the repositioning of narratives about subjects and the black population in Brazil. This work was theoretically based on decolonial and countercolonial thinking, bringing Brazilian and Latino authors, artists and authors of black feminism as an alternative to the history of erasures, cultural appropriations and epistemicides of black knowledge and practices. Methodologically, it was guided by the study and experimentation of visualities, from the virtual wandering, the experimental practice of 'urban assembly', the tools built by the Research Group Studies of the Landscape and the proposal of Exhibition Curatorship as a way of presenting the thesis text. If this thesis managed to invest in non-dominant and counter-colonial visualities and narratives, a contribution can be made in the critical and aesthetic reconfiguration of the look, in the field of study of urbanities, allowing to see the ways of living and feeling the city from the perspective of marginalized protagonists. In addition to favoring the representations of their own stories to reconfigure subjectivities, landscapes and social places, building spatialities, urban in particular, more equitable and inclusive.
