Cicatrizes na pele da cidade: cartografando memórias e imprimindo devaneios

Abstract

For this master's thesis, a study is presented that intends to investigate the possibilities of visual materiality for a cartography that maps the memories scarred in the skin of the city, these marks, excavated in building facades with an architectural coating called cement hairstyle. This is made possible through wanderings through a small territory in the city of Pelotas RS, on a route around Santa Cruz Street. As a response to the question about visual materiality, this research seeks its answer in printed arts, observing its crossings between different languages of contemporary arts, as well as the dialogues between its traditional techniques and the technological innovations of digital contemporaneity.
