MUKÁ-MUKAÚ - IN FAVOR OF OUR MOTHER EARTH. AN EXPERIENCE OF ART-EDUCATION WITH THE PATAXÓ DE CUMURUXATIBA / BA.
Pataxó histories and cultures. Indigenous stories and cultures. Art education. Learning method.
Presentation of the process of research and artistic creation in art education of the Mutirão for Research and Artistic Creation Beira Mar, in the Cumuruxatiba community, especially with the Pataxó indigenous peoples, linked to the Graduate Program in Teaching and Ethnic-Racial Relations at the University Federal District of Southern Bahia. The work addresses issues related to art education and AfroBrazilian and indigenous histories and cultures. It is essentially based on the experiences with the villages Kaí, Tibá, Pequi and Dois Irmãos, and on the teachings of their elders, elders and other leaders: Caciques José Fragoso and Xauã, Cacica Arian, Pajés Jovita and Alda Gomes, the leaders Dona Adelice, Xohã and Jandaia; the indigenous teachers Marineides and Kayanalu and the indigenous teachers Igino and 3/3 Ilauro. In the methodological path, I dialogued with the fundamental principles of art education, by João Francisco Duarte Junior, and Sociopoética, by Jacques Gauthier. Understanding theater as a powerful tool for knowledge and for social transformation, I also spoke with the collection of exercises and theatrical games presented by Augusto Boal in his techniques of the Theater of the Oppressed. As a product of this research I present a dramaturgy and a descriptive memorial of the research and artistic creation process. The dramaturgy manages to portray and echo some ancestral Pataxó stories and others from the daily life of Cumuruxatiba, so that these stories can be recounted in several other moments and places, by several other people; the memorial, in turn, presents the method of research and artistic creation in order to inspire other records of other historical versions from the perspective of social groups that also had their cultural identities subordinated in the process of Brazilian colonization.
