Abstract

The present work is the result of a research in the line of Poetics and Processes of Performance in Arts, thus intending to be an artistic work. Substantiation of a creative act, it presents its genesis based on the intersection of different reference layers: history, memories, emotions and affections, technical and empirical knowledge, in short, different components of my cognitive universe. The result is divided into two volumes, the art-object itself, which is revealed through comics, and this memorial, which presents the mode of operation and concepts generated by the intersections of these plans / layers. The work, the result of the creative process, narrates a period of my grandfather’s life, from the years leading up to his arrival in the Amazon to his last days, having, as a background, the history of Japanese immigration, and the group to which he belonged. It narrates his motivations and the challenges faced in the face of adaptation in Brazil and, in parallel, what are the consequences on the history of his descendants.
