Abstract(s)
Este projeto teve como principal objetivo a criação de um roteiro turístico expositivo dos artistas de rua da baixa do Porto, com o propósito de chamar a atenção para o potencial da arte de rua no contexto das indústrias criativas, promover o reconhecimento da arte de rua como parte da cultura da cidade do Porto e divulgar a arte e trabalho desenvolvidos por estes artistas, contribuindo para a divulgação da cultura da nossa cidade. A investigação desenvolvida, ligada ao projeto, pretende compreender as condições de trabalho dos artistas que atuam nas ruas do Porto, assim como as suas motivações e experiências. Tenciona também analisar uma visão turística e exterior da presença dos artistas de rua nas ruas do Porto, através de estudantes de Erasmus. Desta forma, o impacto que a arte de rua tem para um público turístico e os seus benefícios para a cidade podem ser conhecidos. Estes objetivos foram seguidos através de um estudo qualitativo e quantitativo. O estudo qualitativo foi desenvolvido na construção do roteiro e na investigação relativa às condições de trabalho dos artistas de rua, tendo sido feitas 10 entrevistas semiestruturadas com artistas de rua. Quantitativamente, foi desenvolvido um inquérito, direcionado aos estudantes Erasmus, que aborda a presença e influência dos artistas de rua no Porto a nível cultural. Os resultados obtidos permitem compreender a experiência dos estudantes Erasmus com um artista de rua, a sua perceção da importância e influência dos artistas no âmbito da dimensão cultural da cidade e a sua consideração por este tipo de arte performativa. A discussão dos resultados foi desenvolvida com base no conhecimento teórico de criatividade e inovação em espaços urbanos; criação de negócio com arte e cultura; a relação entre arte de rua e turismo em Portugal e na cidade do Porto. Por fim, as limitações deste projeto e do estudo desenvolvido são descritas, em conjunto com as perspetivas futuras para o projeto.
This project had as main objective the creation of a touristic route expositive of the street performers of Porto’s downtown, with the purpose to call the attention to the potential of street performance activity in the context of the creative industries, to promote the recognition of street performance as part of Porto city’s culture and to disclose the art and work developed by these artists, contributing to the promotion of our city’s culture. The investigation developed, connected to the project, intends to understand the work conditions of the artists performing in the streets of Porto as well as their motivations and experience. It also means to analyse a touristic, foreign view of the presence of street performers in Porto’s streets through the perspective of Erasmus students. In this way, the impact of street performance to a touristic audition and its benefits to the city can be perceived. These objectives were pursued with a qualitative and quantitative study. A qualitative study was carried out for the construction of the route and for the investigation concerning the streets performers’ work conditions, where were developed semi-structured interviews with 10 street performers. Quantitatively, it was developed a form, directed to Erasmus students, approaching the presence and influence of street performers in Porto at a cultural level. The results obtained allowed to understand the experience of the Erasmus students with a street performer; their perception of the importance and influence of the performers inside the cultural dimension of the city; and their consideration for this demonstration of performative art. The discussion of the results was carried out based on the theoretical knowledge of creativity and innovation in urban spaces; business creation with arts and culture; the relation between street performance and tourism, in the framework of Portugal and the city of Porto. Finally, the constraints of the project and study developed are described, together with future perspectives aimed for the project.
