Memória de sangue indígena e abstração na obra da artista anishinaabe Rebecca Belmore

  • Jessica Rachel Jacobson-Konefal UFPEL

Resumo

A artista Anishinaabe Rebecca Belmore responde à globalização por meio de métodos artísticos. Neste artigo vou me concentrar na estética entrelaçada de abstração e memória de sangue em seus trabalhos. Geralmente, os estudos culturais têm considerado a globalização por meio de padrões de abstração, ou elementos de tomada autônomos, infiltrados em um contexto específico. Esses pensadores enfatizam os processos de inovação e mudança como princípios fundamentais da abstração, cultural e esteticamente. Abstendo-se deste contexto, os conceitos de Belmore sobre abstração dão centralidade ao conhecimento indígena – o que eu estou chamando de memória sangrenta (MITHLO, 2011; BENESIINAABANDAN, 2013; LINKLATER, 2013), a fim de descobrir os fundamentos estéticos da abstração moderna no pensamento indígena.
