Abstract

The project intends to investigate the poetics of indigenous artists Naine Terena and Sallisa Rosa, identifying the operative concepts, materialities and technologies of the image (REY, 2002), to understand how the artists build their places of speech (RIBEIRO, 2017) within the system of Art. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the research, sociological and philosophical concepts will be considered, such as hybrid identities (HALL, 2006), cultural dominance (ROGERS, 2006), technique and technology (CUPANI, 2016; MITCHAM, 1994; FEENBERG, 1991; ELLUL, 1964 ; WINNER, 1977; POSTMAN, 1993) to reference subject and work in their historical-cultural contexts. In this artistic process, the image is the result of the technical operation of photography and its possible unfolding in supports and is presented as matter and traces of poetic gesture in a network of signifiers.
