Santa Carnaúba: concepção e produção de exposição coletiva

Abstract

This action-type research, therefore intervention, materializes in a collective and collaborative exhibition with 10 Brazilian artists with thematic associated

with the cultural landscape of Carnaúba, palm tree, tree full of symbols, mea- nings and meanings for the individual and collective memory of the populations

That inhabit the vast territory of the State of Piauí. The Carnaúba was a referen- ce in different economic, historical, social and cultural cycles of the territory,

used over time from raw material for domestic artifacts, handmade products to computer chips. The conception of this work emerged throughout the various

theoretical-practical activities, a mark of the identity of the Post-Graduate Pro- gram in Arts, Heritage and Museology, Professional Master’s, Universidade Fe- deral do Piauí. We assume that the planning and scheduling of exhibitions are

educational and cultural partner actions capable of mobilizing communities, forming publics and strengthening identities; They give rise to dialogues and

exchanges of experiences and experiences, allowing access to knowledge, lear- ning, pleasure, leisure and exchanges of know-how. What we intend with this

action project is to give visibility to the cultural heritage of Piauí, to take it as

an integrated group in the territory, endowed with value and generation of em- ployment and income, capable above all of generating self-knowledge and self-

-esteem. It is a collaborative and participatory exercise between the author of this work, 10 artists and several professionals linked to curatorship in cultural institutions, such as galleries and museums. The guiding thread is the art, the

language and the way of exposing. This work was done in the itinerary of an ar- tistic production in various media, formats, techniques and styles that converge

between the perception of the participants and the theme of the exhibition. It is

a practice that allows the spectator to know a very peculiar universe, the inspi- ring world of Carnauba. It will be possible to note the most primitive and pure

through artistic production, an invitation to enjoyment, delight and reification of the creative imagination, which stimulates the senses by entering into this

small creative entanglement. Following this idea, the final product, the collec- tive, collaborative and participative exhibition, allows debates and attribution

of meanings and meanings to the forms of cultural expression of this heritage, mark of the cultural landscape of the North of Piauí.
