House of Tita's in Florianópolis

Contributions to the formation of an artivist music scene

Abstract

This article proposes to perform the historical rescue and analysis of the artistic and cultural experience of Casa da Tita, developed in the context of the island of Florianópolis, in the community of Rio Tavares. Thus, it seeks to know the process of collective construction of a musical scene, the motivations and objectives, as well as reflect on the artistic, cultural and sociability practices present in this experience/scene. Furthermore, the article aims to analyse the dynamics and forms of relationships established between Casa da Tita and the city's music scene. This is a case study of qualitative approach, which adopted the theoretical and methodological perspective of life history, in order to bring to light singular looks of individuals who participated in the experience addressed; understanding the (re)construction of social processes from the perspective of the intervening actors. The results highlight the potentialities of such a proposal, as the institution of a musical scene that was able to enter the wider social fabric and evoke new modes of aesthetic-political existence and resistance, also configuring itself as a form of contemporary musical artivism.
