Trata-se de um projeto de formação e prática teatral de pessoas cegas ou com baixa visão, com uma duração de três anos, financiado pela Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian e pela Fundação La Caixa, no âmbito do programa Partis &amp; Art for Change. Este projeto agrega uma vertente de formação a uma vertente de intervenção no espaço cultural da cidade de Coimbra. O objetivo foi analisar e reequacionar os possíveis papéis da educação artística na mediação cultural, entendida como modelo de intervenção, entre a entidade O Teatrão e um grupo de pessoas com deficiência, tradicionalmente mais afastadas dos circuitos artísticos. A presente investigação privilegiou uma abordagem qualitativa, realizando um estudo de caso, de carácter exploratório, que decorreu entre outubro de 2021 e agosto de 2022. Os dados aqui reportados foram coletados através de quatro técnicas de recolha de dados: observação participante, inquérito por questionário, entrevistas semiestruturadas e grupo focal. Ao visibilizar a importância da experiência de criação artística na recomposição identitária das pessoas com deficiência, o projeto estimula a desconstrução de conceções da deficiência alicerçadas no modelo individual e fomenta uma conceção social da deficiência. O A Meu Ver, ao juntar pessoas com deficiência visual e profissionais do Teatrão, demonstra que os problemas das pessoas com deficiência não derivam das suas incapacidades, mas sim das formas de organização social e da cultura dominantes. Esta desconstrução permitiu-nos analisar os impactos individuais do projeto para os seus participantes diretos e evidenciar formatos de mediação cultural possíveis para o desenvolvimento de projetos com esta abordagem no setor cultural.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract This article draws on the experience of implementing a project of inclusion through art - A Meu Ver (In My View) - by a professional artistic structure in theatre in the city of Coimbra: O Teatra&#771;o. It is a three-year theatre training and practice project for people with blindness or low vision, funded by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and La Caixa Foundation under the Partis &amp; Art for Change programme. The project combines training and intervention in the cultural space of Coimbra. The aim was to analyse and rethink the possible roles of artistic education in cultural mediation, as an intervention model, between the entity O Teatra&#771;o and a group of disabled people, traditionally out of the artistic circuits. This research privileged a qualitative approach, conducting a case study of exploratory nature, which took place between October 2021 and August 2022. The data reported here were collected through four data collection techniques: participant observation, questionnaire survey, semi-structured interviews and focus group. By demonstrating the importance of the artistic creation experience in recomposing disabled people&#8217;s identities, the project stimulates the deconstruction of disability conceptions based on the individual model and promotes a social concept of disability. In bringing together visually impaired people and Teatra&#771;o professionals, A Meu Ver demonstrates that the problems of disabled people do not derive from their impairments but from the dominant forms of social organisation and culture. This deconstruction made it possible to analyse the individual impacts of the project for its direct participants and to highlight possible cultural mediation formats for developing projects with this approach in the cultural sector.]]></p></abstract>
