CORPO OCUPANTE AUTOCRIADOR: Diálogos possíveis entre fazer artístico e diversidade sexual e de gênero

This thesis is born from the desire to understand artistic practice, especially those that engage in direct dialogue with sexual and gender diversity, as processes that take place in the realm of Art & Life and, therefore, through insurgencies and insubordinations, generate possible paths for the tensioning of the device of violence and surveillance of gender and sexuality, that is, LGBTfobia/homophobia. To this end, I explore the notion of artistic self-creation (LAVAND 2021) as a research trajectory, focusing on a series of artistic experiences that transit between creative processes and community experiences, which can be read as LGBTQIAPN+ artistic practices, experienced by me between 2019 and 2023. As theoretical support, I dialogue with three main artist-researchers from the Pará Amazon and some key concepts of their theories practices: Ana Flávia Mendes (2010) and the "Immanent Body", Mayrla Andrade Ferreira and the "Creator Inhabitant" and Rosangela Colares Lavand (2021), with the aforementioned "Artistic Self-Creation", as well as authors from the field of gender and sexuality studies such as Daniel Borrillo (2016), Regina Facchini(2003), among others, to materialize lines of force between this research and its social function as an artivist for human rights, specifically the right to existence of the LGBTQIAPN+ community with its folds and intersections. Thus, as a thesis, I argue that the act of thinking-through-art is capable of tensing the cis-heteropatriarchy by inventing other modes of existence through the artistic self-creation present in LGBTQIAPN+ artistic practices, in which there is a body that occupies and incessantly creates itself, being a process in which the artist is implicated in and with the poetic act in which, at the same time that it transforms itself, transforms the world. A body that, in its artistic creations and feats, is also in the process of creating itself.
