Resumo(s)
A cidade assume um papel ativo na construção da identidade individual e coletiva.
A arte no espaço público tem exercido um impacto significativo na paisagem urbana
apresentando-se como um motivo de união e de cisão, simultaneamente. Se por um lado
a Arte Pública representa o palco de expressão por excelência, por outro destrói,
desconstrói e provoca quem observa e quem é observado. Em Portugal, esta manifestação
é maioritariamente representada por um público masculino. As rivalidades entre os
géneros masculino e feminino manifestam-se, sobretudo, na representação da mulher
enquanto símbolo sexual e objeto de desejo. Contudo, com a aproximação da mulher às
expressões artísticas urbanas assistimos a uma amálgama de discursos e narrativas, cujas
potencialidades estão em crescimento. As subculturas são os grupos aos quais pertencem
estes jovens artistas, cujos valores, no início deste processo, rejeitam a presença feminina,
como se verifica na prática do graffiti. Porém, com o aparecimento de novas vanguardas
e manifestações, os conflitos são substituídos pela inclusão e pela união com o objetivo
de exaltar a diversidade de linguagens estéticas.
Os testemunhos das artistas de Street Art são determinantes para compreender
qual a função destas artistas nestas práticas. O questionamento da condição da mulher
pautado por um discurso rico em simbologias históricas e sociais é um tema recorrente
no trabalho artístico destas mulheres. Através de uma análise comparativa entre o caso
português e o contexto internacional, propõe-se uma reflexão sobre o atual lugar da artista
feminina na arte contemporânea. Importa realçar que esta análise apoia-se numa
cronologia histórica com enfoque nos séculos XX e XXI. Simultaneamente, procurar-seá
traçar um perfil da artista de Street Art em Portugal com recurso a um vasto número de
exemplos práticos, entre artistas, trabalhos e projetos artístico-culturais.
Esta abordagem teórico-prática procura caracterizar os fenómenos artísticos
urbanos na sociedade atual e aferir da sua importância na relação do indivíduo com o
espaço público. A este propósito, a artista portuguesa de Street Art constitui o estudo de
caso. A partir dele tentaremos verificar se existem oportunidades para a consolidação da
artista urbana enquanto agente impactante no mercado da arte.
Abstract: The city plays a key role in the construction of individual and collective identity. Art in the public space is simultaneously a subject of union and division creating a deep impact in the urban landscape. On the one hand, Public Art represents an opportunity to express ourselves. On the other hand, it destroys, deconstructs and provokes the observer and the observed. In Portugal, this artistic practice is mostly represented by a male audience. The opposition between masculine and feminine genres lies in the representation of woman as sexual symbol and object of desire. However, the integration of women in the manifestations of urban art gave rise to multiple discourses and narratives which keep growing. Usually, these young artists belong to various subcultures. As in graffiti, the values of these groups tend to reject the female presence. However, with the emergence of new art expressions the conflicts have been replaced by a desire of inclusion as well as a mutual sense of belonging to a movement towards exploring and enhancing the diversity of the aesthetic languages. The street-artists’ testimonies are crucial to understand their personal roles in this artistic practices. The most recurrent theme in the female artistic work is the questioning of women’s condition by means of a rich discourse about historical and social symbols. Through a comparative analysis between Portugal and the international reality, we reflect about today’s female contemporary artist. This analysis is based on a chronological context focusing on 20th and 21st centuries. It provides at the same time a profile of the female street-artist in Portugal through a wide range of examples, from artistic work to cultural projects. Our theorical-practical approach aims at identifying the urban art phenomena in today’s society by studying its importance in the relation between people and the public space. The Portuguese female street-artist will be our case study. We will try to verify if there are opportunities to consolidate the female street-artist as a relevant agent in the market of art.
