CORPO EM FRESTA: AN EXTENSION EXPERIENCE IN TIMES OF CONFINEMENT

Abstract

In this essay we look forward to addressing our experiences in the research about the body, art and education, in particular thoughts about Habitar-se: an extensive action created by us towards the social conditions imposed by the pandemic of COVID-19. On behalf of that, Habitar-se affirms our commitment to the academic extension, by creating bridges between a public brazilian university and society in times of uncertainty. Aiming to articulate the narratives of this action, as well as to widen our perceptions about what was lived, we leaned into the proposition “Corpo em fresta”, in which we participated as organizers and proposer. Along with an aesthetic perspective of education (Duarte Jr., 2000; Perissé, 2009), we believe that this is a powerful opportunity to reinvent ourselves in our practices in a movement of: proposing; planning; living; feelling and rethinking what was lived.
