Abstract

The Brazilian Education National Census of 2016 pointed out the closure of 60,065 rural schools from 1995 to 2016. Between 2015 and 2018, the artists Yuri Firmeza, Laura Castro, Carolina Fonseca, Renata Marquez, Pedro Britto, Pablo Lobato, Icaro Lira, Glayson Arcanjo and Filipe Britto carried out the project "Catastrophe Expedition: Towards an Archeology of Ignorance". The experiment faced - within the field of intrinsic relations between aesthetics and politics - this awesome data: the closure of 8 rural public schools in average per day in the last twenty years.
