LEITE, Roberta Vasconcelos  e  MAHFOUD, Miguel. FROM INVISIBLE ART TO ROOTS: AN EXPERIENCE OF NON-FORMAL EDUCATION IN THE RAILWAY SUBURB OF SALVADOR. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2018, vol.23, e230087.  Epub 23-Nov-2018. ISSN 1809-449X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1413-24782018230087.

We investigated the educational proposal of Acervo da Laje, a non-formal education initiative located in the railway suburb of Salvador, Bahia. Under a psychology of culture’s perspective, we conducted a semistructured interview with its founder, analyzed phenomenologically. We identify how the personal experience of encountering art mobilized the recognition that all human are ontologically open to surplus. With this premise, the Acervo da Laje wants to overcome processes that make the periphery production invisible. To promote local art reveals an effort of restitution so that the human surplus generated in the suburb, though denied to it, returns to it. In the dialogue with Weil, we understand that this educational proposal is distinguished by its rooting in existence. We conclude that, while responding to the challenges of non-formal education, the Acervo da Laje reveals a singular possibility of education based on the concomitant appreciation of local culture and of what unites us as humans.
