Abstract

Divided into four temporal sections, the article seeks to put into practice the "Aranhadas" pedagogy proposed by Lygia Pape, in the 1970s, as a heuristic for thinking about Brazilian cultural composition in the face of the art crisis caused by capitalism. Along with the weaving of the spiders, the article recovers the scene of a non-executed work in which she projects herself digging a hole to look for "Brazilian roots". From this double imaginary, between webs and underground excavations, the text asks: in which terrains and historical context Pape's aesthetic-political concerns were based and which perspectives launched by the artist could be brought as lessons to address the crises of the 21st century 21? Through this speculative exercise, which is inconclusive and constantly open, we point out the urgency of continuing and expanding practices based on vital forces and promoting the proliferation of plural perspectives
