Arte negra sergipana em rede: mapeamento geográfico e fluxos informacionais sobre artistas negros em galerias e centros culturais de Aracaju

Abstract

This dissertation investigates the informational flows that shape Black art in Sergipe through the geographic mapping of eight galleries and cultural centers located in the city of Aracaju. The study aims to understand how the institutional records produced by these spaces reflect the visibility of Black artists and how such information can be systematized within a digital pedagogical platform. The research is qualitative, descriptive and applied, developed through documentary analysis of registration books, catalogs, institutional websites, digital archives and news sources. The corpus includes the following exhibition spaces: Galeria de Arte Sesc Centro, Galeria de Arte Sesc Cícero Alves dos Santos – Véio, Galeria de Arte J. Inácio, Corredor Cultural Wellington dos Santos “Irmão”, Galeria de Arte Álvaro Santos, Galeria Jenner Augusto (Espaço Cultural Semear), Centro de Cultura e Arte da UFS (Cultart) and Centro Cultural de Aracaju (now Palácio-Museu Luiz Antônio Barreto). The analysis is grounded in principles of Information Science, with emphasis on circulation, gaps and the potential of cultural records as informational flows that shape practices of visibility and erasure. As a technical product, the project includes the expansion of the pedagogical digital platform PreteSe, designed to organize and disseminate information on Black artists from Sergipe while providing pedagogical materials that integrate art, memory and education. The study contributes to the consolidation of more inclusive informational practices and to the strengthening of the visibility of Black art in Sergipe, reaffirming information as an instrument of memory, belonging and cultural resistance.
