O ilê performático da biodiversidade dos Orixás e das Iabás

os saberes das Africanidades para a sustentabilidade contemporânea

Abstract

After studies and practices of the element of the costume, the reuse of possible disposable materials and afro-Brazilian history and culture, the students of a public school in the Federal District set up a performative exhibition, in which the relations of the Orixás and Iabás with nature were presented aesthetically and artistically, aiming at sensitive reflection on sustainable development. In a diverse and plural way, they revisited the traditional knowledge of Africanities, interspersing them with some educational and sociocultural practices of contemporary times. This writing is an account and a reflection on the development of this artistic-pedagogical experience, mixed with some concepts and thoughts today about the influences of the African cultural matrix for the production of knowledge in the teaching-learning process in basic education, in particular, in high school and focusing on the Pedagogy of performing arts, precisely by the keener exploration of aesthetic elements,  as with the costume.
