Maragogipinho; Knowledge Meeting; Writing; Afrocentricity; Plural Pedagogies.
This research-creation intends to map and register, from the author's writings, fragments of the narrative memory of a Master and a Santeiro ceramists from the traditional community of Maragogipinho, district of Aratuípe/Bahia. In this proposal, handicraft is taken as an act of resistance and the artisan and the artisan as subjects constituted in and constituting the tradition; this is a cartographic research, carried out in 2020 and 2021, having as a theoretical-methodological basis concerning the structuring key concepts, which are: "remarkable knowledge of art masters", "scriptives", "plural pedagogies", “Afrocentricity” and “cartographic method”. In this context, we base ourselves on scholars such as Moléfi Asante (2009); Bernadino-Costa (2018); Silvia Tedesco, Christian Sade and Luciana Caliman (2015); Johnny Alvarez and Eduardo Passos (2015); Alfredo Wagner Almeida (2013); Deleuze and Guatarri (1997); Alvares (2015, 2019); Mattar (2017); José Jorge de Carvalho (2016; 2019; 2020); Evaristo (2005; 2020). As educational products from the present research, the assembly in collaboration with the artisans is presented, in a transcreative way, of two books, namely: a pedagogical book, to be delivered to schools in the community, entitled: “In the kneading of clay: classes-living and artisan pedagogy” and a book for the community, entitled: “In the kneading of clay: book-encounter with ceramist masters from Maragogipinho”, which will be delivered to artisans and artisans in the community.
