Waves and wigs: Cultivative processes of art and research meetings and transformations
Alison Neilson & Andrea Inocêncio
This performative session draws from projects initiated from opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean, but both landed by fishers in the Azores islands. Independent of one other, but both full of art and inquiry, the researcher/artists now meet to cultivate further resistances. Alison and Andrea will share their workings-in-progress to highlight and explore ways that researchers/artists can transform their own practices to resist hegemonic and agonistic politics. Andrea will draw from À prova de fogo e de bala (fire-proof and bullet) photo-paintings made with the collaboration of 15 women, from 10 to 60 years old, who participated as models of the costumes they created to show the figure of woman as a complex social-cultural construction. These figures, in the form of comic book heroin were created from their experiences and visions, and question the place occupied by women’s images in the construction of identities as well as in cultural exchange and production. Alison will draw from EDUMAR ethnographic and autobiographic-narrative inquiry about the ways people in the Azores understand the sea. Stories elicited from photos and multiple creative collaborations were transformed creatively into flowing wet meanings in which we are invited to swim. Now together, Alison and Andrea attempt to cultivate the figure of researcher as complex, as artist and as able to creatively raise their voices over the environmental conflicts they are embedded in.
