Abstract

This research aims to correlate the emotional dimension and decolonial thinking, in order to develop studies and practices for elementary public schools' arts teaching, which is seen as fertile territory for the creation of insurgent strategies in spite of the logic of coloniality, present in educational processes. Therefore, on behalf of liberating education, the project seeks to explore pedagogic tools capable of including both the social and subjective contexts that exist among interpersonal relations, in addition to self-reflexive educational possibilities, under the perspective of a/r/tography.(AU)
