Abstract

This article proposes a reflection on the performative action "My body writes in error", a poetic and political journey through the city of Anápolis, Goiás. The action occupies – physical and symbolic cracks – as a means of existence for that which does not conform to normative linearity. The city, designed for typical bodies, reveals itself as exclusionary, but it is in the gaps that the body finds a place to infiltrate, resist, and express itself. In this process, the body-writing of an autistic artist moves between margins and invisibilities, proposing an art that challenges normativity and is anchored in the singularities of those who write, walk, and resist through "error" as a form of existence. The accounts of this practical experience engage in dialogue with the studies of Temple Grandin, Estela Lapponi, Christine Greiner, Henri Lefebvre, and Milton Santos.
