Memórias e histórias do Ateliê Livre da UFMT 1981/1991 : as cores e as formas de inclusão continuam

Abstract

This study proposes to present the relevant work of social promotion that the “Free Workshop” on the campus of the Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso – UFMT and consequently the visual arts exercised in the lives of some citizens, between 1981 and 1991. During this period, the space created the University's Museum of Art and Popular Culture - MACP received dozens of children and teenagers from the neighborhoods of the city of Cuiabá, who saw in it an opportunity to develop their artistic skills, especially painting on canvas. Our objective is to verify and describe, through oral accounts of the artists who attended the space during this period and the people who had a connection with it, how important this studio and art was in their affective and professional lives that reverberate to this day.
