Content Covers Decoloniality, Design, and Cultural Projects

The course Voices, Arts, and Territories has a workload of four hours and is in podcast format, featuring musician Tiganá Santana from the Institute of Brazilian Studies at the University of São Paulo, and Fernanda Pitta from the Museum of Contemporary Art at USP.

The training proposes a critical dialogue on artistic representations of colonial Brazil produced by the French between the 16th and 19th centuries, analyzing how trajectories, identity, and territorial belongings influence aesthetic practices in the country.

Structured into four episodes and an e-book, the course investigates art as a tool for resistance, addressing processes of historical resignification and expanding the debate on visual narratives constructed throughout different colonial periods.

Decolonial Design Training Discusses Territories and Technology

The course Decolonial Design: Territories and Perspectives also has a workload of four hours and is partnered with Kuya Design Center from Ceará, addressing the fundamentals of decolonial design and examples of practices from marginalized territories.

The training is conducted by Cláudia Sales and Cristiellen Rodrigues Ribeiro, who analyze knowledge, constructive languages, and creative processes invisibilized by Eurocentric narratives, with attention to the impacts of new technologies in the design field.

The content also discusses the role of artificial intelligence in the preservation or erasure of cultural narratives, broadening the reflection on technology, memory, and representation in the context of contemporary design, with both practical and conceptual approaches.

Course Guides Development of Cultural Projects

The third course, Cultural Projects: Where to Start? – Part 2, has a workload of two hours and is aimed at those interested in transforming ideas into structured cultural projects for professional activity in the sector.

The training addresses essential steps such as writing for calls, formatting portfolios, and financial planning, including taxes, levies, and rates, as well as discussing cultural accessibility and the use of artificial intelligence in cultural production.

The first part of the course, launched in 2024, remains available for free at the Itaú Foundation School and addresses project structure, copyright, technology, immersive experiences, timeline, and budget, complementing the new content offered.
