| Sumario: | The Federal University of São Carlos has been offering vacancies for indigenous candidates since 2008, putting regular students in contact with indigenous cultures. In this context, this work reports an extension activity with aims to give visibility to the existence of indigenous people, historically erased at the University, highlighting the participation of representatives of different ethnic groups in an artistic work/installation. The actions took place at an artistic event in Sorocaba from August 12th to December 3rd, 2017. During the event, replicas of indigenous funerary urns were buried in the Sorocaba campus of the Federal University of São Carlos, in a (supposed) Guarani cemetery, and interviews with non-indigenous students were recorded by the indigenous ones. The actions have provoked thinking about the neglection of the invisible, sacred land, hidden in the lawns where the University students now walk. The funerary urns, that gained visibility on the campus where today there is a University, are reminders us of the abyss that still exists, and that remains deep. But, it is already possible to see another margin, alternatives to explain and seek to understand the world, socially established ways to favor a harmonious coexistence: what the indigenous university students presented us helps us to think over ourselves and to collaborate to coexist in diversity. |
