Diálogo entre obras de arte: a performance “Oju omodé - Olhar de criança” e a coleção de painéis da sala Carybé do Museu Afro-Brasileiro/UFBA

Abstract

This work is about the creation of an artistic performance developed to dialogue with an exhibition center of the Afro-Brazilian Museum, linked to the Federal University of Bahia, which was named by the institution as the Carybé room. This room has carved wooden panels, which show representations of some deities from the Afro-Brazilian mythology of Candomblé. The main research method used was the artist's book, which contains the records of the conceptual construction of the performance, which also takes on the character of a field diary. It is believed that through artistic performance it is possible to work elements of the vast cosmo-symbolic body of the deities represented in the panels, stimulating the reflective process in the audience.
