Passagens Criativas : oficina de fotografia híbrida para mulheres idosas do NIETI/UFPB

Abstract

This research is based on the workshop “Creative Passages: hybrid photography for elderly women at NIETI/UFPB”, developed through the Visual Arts & Inclusion extension project at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB) in partnership with the Study and Research Center of the Third Age (NIETI/UFPB). Its objective is to understand the impacts of the workshop on activating the creative sense of elderly women. To this end, it relies on the investigation of the benefits of practicing the creative process in hybrid photography, through the authors Ostrower (2014), Salles (1998) and photographer and visual poet Bittencourt (2022). It carries out an analysis of the structure and teaching/learning strategies based on the triangular approach and carried out in meetings. And it proposes comparing the results of the participants’ creative processes. It uses the research methodology of the Yin case study (2001), based on the experiences and collection of materials prepared during the course of the workshop. It was found that encouraging experiments carried out in the creative process with hybrid photography led to the appreciation of artistic productivity, activation of creative potential and motivation for practice, which confers the plurality of possibilities that hybrid photography can provide.
