Móte - Fotolivro sobre vivências culturais associadas à confecção cerâmica Terena na Terra Indígena Cachoeirinha

Abstract

This paper presents the production process of the photobook Móte. It is an experimental project in Journalism that looks at the making of Terena ceramics in the Cachoeirinha Indigenous Territory in Mato Grosso do Sul, based on the experiences of a family of ceramists. This report first presents the research done on the subject of the work - the Terena, the Cachoeirinha Indigenous Land, Terena ceramics, ceramic production in Cachoeirinha, the singularities and stages of making Terena ceramics - and on the product produced - photobook, visual narratives in photobooks, contributions of graphic design and the use of verbal elements in photobooks, chronicle and journalistic profile. Based on these theoretical references, this report describes the methodology used to execute the project, which included activities such as getting to know the subject and the characters, planning and making trips to the Cachoeirinha Indigenous Territory to collect material, preparing the graphic design and narrative of the photobook, selecting the photographs, the layout, as well as the difficulties faced during the process, the objectives achieved and possible considerations. The result of the work consists of a verbo-visual narrative developed into a physical/printed photobook, which presents the production process and the cultural experience associated with the context of the pottery making of the Terena people.
