Descripción
Sumario:The purpose of this text is to analyze the project entitled Epigramas, by Manoela Nogueira, in which the visual artist produces writings in places of remembrance in the city of Porto Alegre, seeking to remind passers-by of the connection between that place and the Civil-Military Dictatorship (1964-1985). To produce this analysis, we started with the historic relationship between catastrophe and memory in order to examine two fundamental axes of trauma elaboration: writing and image. As such, we sought to identify how this type of artistic intervention can re-elaborate the past and create a critical view of history.
