Abstract

The article aims to approach the performance between humans and plants, from the coffee ecology, understanding that worlds are constituted by multispecific relationships (HARAWAY, 2016). The approach will take place in the text in a historical and artistic perspective, between textual and imagery references, with transit between interdisciplinary knowledge. In the first part of the text, we discuss the history of coffee planting, its practices and racializing political context in Brazil. In the second part, we continue with some contributions from Brazilian and Portuguese artists who present themselves or start from the café as a support and base for their work. We end the text with a discussion about the relationship between humans and plants, recognizing common ways of exploring society and nature, and how art is an important way of producing knowledge and elaborating on the real.
