Resumo
In this research in art, I ask: how to create images from exercises of approximation
between human beings and nature? Thus, the general objective of this
master’s research was to investigate the processes of creating visual narratives
elaborated from perceptions and experiences with the nature present in the surroundings
of the neighborhood where I live, called Vila Itatiaia, located in the
northern region of the city of Goiânia, in Goiás. Visual econarratives departed
from the ‘econarrative’ concept brought by authors Peter Perreten and Melanie
Pryor and are artistic propositions created in this research from crossings between
experiences with nature and critical perspectives that put different fields of
knowledge in dialogue, such as: ecology, feminism, art, decolonial studies and
autobiographical studies. In dialogue with these themes, I used environmental
and ecofeminist movements as a basis, as well as the authors Walter Mignolo,
Michael Serres, Lenoble, Aníbal Quijano, Ailton Krenak, Elizabeth Beltrán and
Vandana Shiva to understand and articulate a discussion about the relationships
and understandings that were establishing itself temporally and spatially in relation
to nature. As artistic references, Ana Mendieta, Fina Miralles, Vidi Descaves,
Evan Cohen and Uýra Sodoma, are artists who brought an understanding and
reflection on the potency of the idea of putting yourself as nature. In addition
to these artists, Coletivo Oda Coletivo and artist Manoela Rodrigues, helped in
reflections on socially engaged art and artistic approaches developed in the master’s,
being them two workshops, a seminar and an exchange of letters with two
residents of the Vila Itatiaia neighborhood. For the production of visual econarratives,
the investigation adopted research based on artistic practice as a methodological
support, with approaches to four poetic strategies: autobiography, with
an emphasis on autobiogeography, walking, life narratives and mental maps. The
articulation of these approaches was made through an artistic practice that was
constituted from walks, collections, conversations, photographic records, digital
collages, illustration, painting and embroidery, resulting in the proposition of the
notion of visual econarratives and a series of productions, among them: 20 visual
econarratives, actions developed with groups and an artist’s diary. The notion of
visual econarrative started from the investigation of narratives that distance our
existence from nature, in which I reflected and identified strategies to approach
it, to then create visual econarratives that propose the integration of oneself as
nature. Based on this notion, I understood that artistic practice, centered on the
production of visual econarratives, is a means of articulating the narratives of self
towards integration, which stimulates a change in perception by demonstrating
that it is not enough to be close to nature, but it is necessary to have a systemic
view of perceiving oneself as part of it. In this master’s thesis, I present the path
that was being traced at each step of this investigative journey that took place together
with nature and as nature. Finally, in a scenario of environmental crisis affected
by the pandemic, the theme of this research proved to be relevant, urgent
and necessary, as it reinforces the importance of recognizing ourselves as part
of nature and, thus, seeking new perceptions about it, that is, about ourselves.
