Listening to the discomfort of bodies moving to intercultural contexts

Abstract

In this text the authors interpret the discomfort resulting from the displacement of their bodies into intercultural art education relations in the Sertão of Pernambuco, Brazil, and in Africa, Cape Verde and Mozambique, since 1996, within the intercultural movement IDENTIDADES. This movement is linked to the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto, Portugal, an institution of international renown and brilliant legitimacy, where arts education practices and
research have led the bodies of the authors in a space and time of personal conflicts, of recognition of the colonial that integrates them and the self-critical need to understand themselves, in an epistemological confrontation attending to the listening and the memory on the reflections in this field.
