Abstract

FORTES, Hugo. Lessons from Evolution: a transdisciplinary approach from art. Educ. Real. [online]. 2023, vol.48, e123782. ISSN 2175-6236.  https://doi.org/10.1590/2175-6236123782vs01.

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.

Keywords : Evolution; Art; Natural Sciences; Education; Post-Humanism.
