Imagens deslocadas: arte contemporânea, natureza e interculturalidade na descolonização do olhar docente
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This article proposes approaching images through “cosmopolitical diplomacy,” the concept of “feeling-thinking,” and the “ecology of knowledges,” articulating scientific and traditional knowledge and dismantling the hierarchy between science and culture. The central focus is on experimentation and the creation of images and artistic devices inspired by contemporary art from an intercultural perspective, aiming to broaden students’ perceptions of different modes of existence and knowledge production. The research adopts an essayistic, investigative character by problematizing artistic production. The methodology was based on an analysis of the intercultural perspective, focusing on works that prompted reflection on the intersections of culture, society, and nature. The article argues that the intersection between science and art is a powerful tool for decolonizing our view of nature. The intercultural perspective developed in the artists’ works transformed students’ perceptions. The results revealed productions that connect technology, ancestrality, and socio-environmental critiques, challenging the dichotomy between reason and subjectivity. Finally, it highlights how art can shift and challenge the boundaries between nature and culture, fostering new forms of care, relationship, and coexistence on the planet.
