Dimensions of an Encounter: A Sculpture & Its Shadow (2025) Camille Clair
Dimensions of an Encounter: A Sculpture & Its Shadow explores how sculpture negotiates the opposing forces of gravity and levity, presence and absence, object and support. Tracing a lineage from Leibniz’s theory of individuation to Melanie Klein’s theory of object recognition to various sculptural practices, the essay considers how spatial arrangement mediates psychic projection and self-recognition.

OS SONS DO SAGRADO: UM EXPERIÊNCIA SONORA NA IGREJA MATRIZ DE SÃO BERNARDO –MA (2025) Natacha Oliveira Pinto
Esta experiência criativa foi desenvolvida na disciplina de Epistemologia da Cultura, do Mestrado Interdisciplinar em Dinâmicas Sociais, Conexões Artísticas e Saberes Locais do Centro de Ciências de São Bernardo, da Universidade Federal do Maranhão. Vivenciamos a paisagem sonora da Igreja Matriz do município de São Bernardo, localizado no estado do Maranhão. Destacamos a sua importância religiosa, histórica, cultural e afetiva para a cidade, utilizando recursos poéticos e performáticos, a fim de evidenciar a paisagem sonora como expressão cultural. Buscamos compreender a relação entre os sons e a memória afetiva, investigando como a sonoridade influencia as percepções e lembranças do espaço, bem como refletir sobre a experiência performática, destacando o processo de escuta ativa e de imitação dos sons do ambiente. Como aporte teórico para alicerçar o processo criativo, utilizamos autores que discutem a escuta e paisagem sonora, em especial R. Murray Schafer, Pierre Schaeffer e Marisa Fonterrada.
