Intervenções urbanas e micropolíticas : as experiências do coletivo à deriva em Cuiabá

Abstract

Reflections about experiences with urban intervention performed in the city of Cuiabá by the Coletivo à Deriva, in the period 2010-2012. The notion of micropolitics, a concept developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari; and Nicolas Bourriaud with the relational aesthetics, supports the discussion about aesthetic experiences in the city. The observation is through the experience lived in these interventions, literature search, interviews with others involved, photographs, internet postings and audiovisual material. Wandering shadows, held on the campus of UFMT, Largo da Mandioca, in the historical center of Cuiabá, and the Living Square, in Ipiranga’s Square, are the three observed interventions. The result is an understanding of these collective contemporary aesthetics practices as ways of being in the city.
