About

This final workshop was developed on the basis of Daniela Beny's MA and PhD researches, and is part of the activities of the doctoral internship during her stay at CES/UC. Here we intend to share with the participants how the traditional knowledges from the afro-religious Brazilian communities - the Candomblé and Umbanda terreiros - become potentiators of the processes of scenic design based on cosmology, philosophy, aesthetics and poetics from orality and the transmission of knowledge based on embodied experiences.

Objectives

• To share research approaches with the participants;
• To present to the participants Brazilian authors who dialogue directly with Epistemologies of the South;
• To propose dialogues between Brazil and Portugal, as well as with the academic community of other countries that integrate CES activitities regarding academic research in the field of the arts and of traditional Afro-Brazilian cultures.
