The first experimentation was built from the group exhibition “Desmanche”, which was on display from April to November 2021. Based on the concept of the archetype, the three videos work on three fundamental figures of the individual and collective imagination, who guide the knowledge proper to the transformation: the witch, the magician and the hunter. The works were developed through poetic texts and capture of external sounds and images and the exhibition, resulting from the friction with studies and works of various natures.

For the exhibition Quilombola Portraits – which was shown at the CCVM from December 2021 to March 2022 – the concept of TERRITORY was chosen for research. In view of the diversity of meanings that the term presents, depending on the perspective and interests of those who demarcate it, a cultural approach was chosen, where the lived space unfolds in the construction of the world. The human experience, established in relations with the environment and with other individuals, was the key to understanding geographical space as a place meant by everyday life.

“Why are you wearing that outfit?” A question that allows for broad meanings. When we choose clothes, we build, communicate, provoke.

Considering the importance of poetic research among its educators and the possibilities of extension to collaborative practice among other mediation agents, the Educational Center of the Vale Maranhão Cultural Center presents “In 2 Times”, a series of videos created to expand the concepts, studies, and discourses about the CCVM exhibitions.

For the exhibition ELKE – which aired at the CCVM from May to November 2022 – the relationship between the public and everyday clothing was investigated – a key element in the ethics, expression, and aesthetics of Elke Maravilha – in a provocation about how clothing reflects a choice of meanings regarding our identity and the place to which we belong.
