Memories and textile (re) xistences in Jequitinhonha – wefts, dances and knowledge

Abstract

This article discusses the artist’s memories and her investigations into textile
processes in the Jequitinhonha Valley. The plot point is the disquiet in relation to
the feminine invisibility in art. Its objective is to think about the diversity and potency that Textile Art allows to experience, experiment and exchange, as well as
it reflects on the unfolding of creative processes, culminating in diverse expressive and sensitive possibilities. In the course of the work, the research carried out was based on her own notes, on her diverse experiences around the Valley, on
hermemories and bibliographies. It concludes and highlights that Textile Art allowed to stimulate the creative capacity of the artist with its poetic, creative, procedural and questioning developments, as well as being able to be a support a locus of speech for women and artists often invisible in the world in general and
in the world of Arts, presenting as a result an Artist’s Notebook that transcends
the work itself.
