Abstract

The article aims to reflect on the creative processes involved in the conception and implementation of “Abbreviated Stories Action” developed in the scope of the Graduate Program in Creative Media of the School of Communication at the Federal University of Rio Janeiro (UFRJ). The “Abbreviated Stories Action” intends to create a network of affections that aims to honor the victims of Covid-19. The idea is centered on promoting artistic expression as a movement of care. Our goal is to focus on art as a place of listening and affection so that we can reframe the period of mourning we are going through. Abbreviated Stories is an engagement action within the ImaginAções Festival carried out through short video posts (Reels) on the Instagram app interconnected with texts that polyphonically support this imagery of art as a place of empathy and overcoming.
