Lessons from Evolution: a transdisciplinary approach from art

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

ABSTRACT

The paper discusses the transdisciplinarity between the fields of knowledge and the contribution of visual arts to teaching natural sciences. The author’s own video artwork Evolutions in 3 Lessons is presented, in which stories related to the theory of evolution and colonialism are intertwined, seeking to offer a complex view of the relationship between white humans, non-white humans and non-human animals. It is concluded that the teaching of science allied to the sensitive perception provided by art can contribute to the constitution of a plural world in which respect for otherness and communication between the fields of knowledge occur in a more integral and collaborative way, without ceasing to the complexities of each area.
