The research stems from the need to understand how creative processes in performance develop in relation to wearable art, using the artist's personal trajectory as the central axis of the investigation. Throughout the study, themes such as lived experiences, daily life, affective memories, and the maternal laundry space are explored as poetic triggers. Methodologically, the research adopts an experimental approach, integrating processual records, performative experimentations, and reflections on artistic practice. The methods developed throughout the investigation enable the conceptualization and activation of performance through the body and clothing, understanding wearable art as a guiding element of performative actions. Although it engages in dialogue with fashion, wearable art is approached from a poetic and conceptual perspective, distancing itself from market-driven logic-an aspect that aligns with one of the essential characteristics of performance art. The study's findings reveal that each investigated process presents unique dynamics and singularities, reinforcing the notion that performative creation is inherently subjective and relational. Thus, this research navigates the contexts and concepts of performance, emphasizing the significance of poetic investigations within the field of visual arts.

The woodcuts in this series are part of the collection at the Pinacoteca of the Universidade Federal da Paraíba. In his work, Miranda employed heraldic drawings to build his visual discourse, centered on the 17th-century theme of resistance struggles in Brazil against the troops of the Dutch West India Company, which took place in regions of the Northeast. This research seeks to analyze the visual discourse created by the artist through an analytical and critical lens, using the image-reading and interpretation methods developed by art theorist and historian Erwin Panofsky. A bibliographic review was adopted here, covering authors, theorists, and historical themes related to the images that are the object of this study. The coats of arms that spatially identify regions of the Northeast, and that appear in Miranda’s work, were originally created by the Dutch artist Frans Post (1612–1680). These illustrate engravings published in Gaspar Barléu’s Rerum per octennium in Brasilia (1647), a work about the eight-year governance of Maurice of Nassau in Brazil. These graphic marks form a central element of the object of this Art History study, focusing on the connection between images created by Nivalson Miranda and Frans Post. The aim is to understand the author's visual discourse expressed by the Paraíba-born artist through heraldic symbols that emerged during one of the most significant moments in the history and visual arts of the region, images that echo the visuality of the artists in the entourage of Maurício de Nassau and the graphic language of blasons. In this sense, this work seeks to expand the critical perspective on coats of arms and engravings as influential media in shaping the historical space and regional identity in the visual discourse of NORDESTE HOLANDEZ.

The research focuses on clues found in the visualities and (counter)visualities expressed in the performances of the hors concours queens—those who are beyond any contest, considered better than the competition—in order to understand (or not!) the visual representations of the cafuceta revelers who performed in the bloco between 2023 and 2025. To this end, the work called upon the collaboration (the HELP ME!) of notable thinkers who reflect on the concepts of carnival, such as Ferreira (2004, 2005), Bakhtin (1987), DaMatta (1990), Queiroz (1992), Minois (2003), Sodré and Paiva (2002), and Bergson (1987), the latter three embraced for their contributions to the understanding of laughter and the grotesque in festive contexts. It also draws on reflections on the concept of cafuçu (França, 2013; Soares, 2012; Magalhães, 2022), peripheral subjects (D’Andrea, 2013), and feminist theories (Butler, 2018, 2020; Hollanda, 2020). Through immersion as a participant in the bloco and analysis of images available on YouTube, various symbolic artifacts and modes of feminine expression within the Cafuçu were mapped and analyzed, revealing tensions between transgressive and normative dimensions that shape the bloco as a space of symbolic dispute. Drawing on a cafuçucartographic approach, this work interweaves images, documents, memories, sounds, and lived experiences, reimagining—both visually and textually, in light of Mizoerff’s perspective—the right to look at the Cafucetas. The study concludes that carnivals constitute territories of symbolic and bodily freedom, but also expose and reinforce social prejudices and norms rooted in a still-hierarchical society. In this context, the hors concours queens produce and parade plural (counter)visualities that defy singular or definitive interpretations.

With this in mind, this paper discusses the academic productivism that pervades Brazilian postgraduate programs and has an impact on teacher-researchers. Thus, the research aims to analyze academic productivism in the area of Visual Arts within the stricto sensu Postgraduate Programs in Visual Arts in Brazil, in order to unveil the theoretical and historical context and the consequences of the phenomenon on the activities of the permanent faculty members affiliated with these programs. The research is of a bibliographic, documentary, descriptive, and exploratory type, based on a qualitative approach with a quantitative input. The research subjects are faculty members affiliated with the Graduate Programs in Visual Arts in Brazil, who consist of a group of 169 professors, distributed across the nine Graduate Programs involved in the research. The data collection instrument used is an online questionnaire created on Google Forms, consisting of open and closed questions, resulting in a sample of 37 respondents. For data analysis, content analysis by thematic categories is applied, namely: knowledge of academic productivism, perception of the postgraduate evaluation process, and consequences of productivism. Thus, it was possible to outline the profile of the researched group, their understanding of academic productivism, their perception of the evaluation model, highlight the impacts of academic productivism, and also analyze how the COVID-19 pandemic context affected their lives. The results show that the group under investigation mostly recognizes the impact of academic productivism on their activities, characterized by the demands to publish scientific articles, lack of time for research maturation, decentralization of other teaching activities such as teaching, extension, management, and artistic practice. The group also raised other issues such as motherhood, dissatisfaction, imposter syndrome, and feelings such as anxiety and fatigue, which were aggravated by the pandemic. It concludes that, as in other areas of knowledge, the phenomenon of academic productivism is inherent to postgraduate studies in Visual Arts, and its consequences have been affecting work, research, health, and the way of life of faculty members, highlighting the importance of continued studies on this topic and the ongoing discussion on evaluation criteria.
