Abstract

Contemporarily, accompanying a set of experiences taking place in the intertwining of artistic practices, health production and cultural projects has triggered a multiplication of a sustainable offer of projects composed at the interface of the arts, health production and cultural actions in public equipment of education, health and culture in the city of São Paulo. Many questions have arisen in the development of those projects as much as an increase in the strength of those actions, and the reflections on the interventions are based on the questions raised about the complexity of the ethical-political lines coming up in the new scenarios of the social-cultural scene. The objective of this project is to develop an integrate study of the actions taken and accompanied in the ambit of education, research and involvement of the community at the Laboratory of Studies and Research Art, Body and Occupational Therapy of the Course of Occupational Therapy of the University of São Paulo, in addition to mapping analyzers worked in a writing processes and made available in a re-ordination of the bibliographical production in order to stimulate critically the continuity of the actions interfaced. Within the contemporary production we have focused on themes, contexts and implications in the actions taken and interventions made in the artistic-cultural field oriented towards populations in a vulnerable social situation and their contributions to the field of Occupational Therapy, to the Arts and to education. Those are issues involving the production of knowledge based on current practices which can serve as reference for the continuity of the experiences and create subsidies to stimulate public policies aimed at actions at the interface of art, health and culture production, and to strengthen the social-cultural participation of the population assisted. This is an intervention research with an exploratory and evaluating character with diversified methodological procedures and qualitative analyses of the material researched. This project intends to state an inventive policy able to maintain openings to the multiplicity arising from the experiences accompanied and to other similar surveys. (AU)
