The ways of knowing and teaching indigenous people are multiple and are at the center of the constitution of worlds and of encounters between them. The traditional knowledge of a people is like a tree: roots in their traditional territories, trunks of collective existence, and branches that expand their reach and sow seeds for the sprouting of new existences, in exchange with the environment and with all the beings with which they coexist.
This knowledge is dynamic and transformational: it circulates through orality, through actions, through songs, paintings and rituals; it circulates through books, through poetry, through the indigenous presence in universities, in governmental institutions, in forums and international meetings; it circulates through social networks, in audiovisual production, in electronic media. They also assert themselves in art and education experiences and projects promoted in indigenous territories and schools.
The III Seminar on Art, Education and Culture: Indigenous Knowledge in Circulation seeks to hold meetings, dialogues and experiences with indigenous and non-indigenous artists, leaders, researchers, and educators about different modes of production and dissemination of knowledge and their relations with teaching-learning processes, encompassing diverse experiences, inside and outside the villages.
For this meeting, the indigenous guests are from the Tremembé, Kaingang, Kaiowá Guarani, Mbya Guarani, Gvão, Guajajara Tentehar, Baniwa, Mebengokre Kayapó, Tabajara, Kadiwéu and Ka’apor peoples, presenting reflections, actions and aesthetics related to what is usually translated and understood as indigenous education. Ways of doing, constructing, singing, caring, healing, embellishing are presented, among the various modes of knowledge circulation. Memory and intergenerational encounters thus constitute one of the main axes of programming.
