Eja e Diversidade

Abstract

The relationship between art, culture and censorship is marked by tensions, reflecting the role of art in questioning and disrupting established cultural norms. According to Jean-Luc Godard, "culture is the rule; art is the exception", indicating that art challenges the status quo and drives culture to evolve. Psychoanalysts Suely Rolnike and Félix Guattari point out that culture tends to separate and standardize semiotic activities, while art unites and questions these divisions, provoking debate and discomfort. The 1988 Federal Constitution guarantees freedom of artistic expression, protecting it from censorship and reinforcing its transformative role. When art is censored, it is not only the work or the artist that suffers, but also society's own capacity to transform and question itself. To minimize these tensions and guarantee artistic freedom, educational actions are essential. It is essential to promote cultural and artistic diversity in school curricula and develop programs that address censorship and freedom of expression, creating a more open, tolerant society that is aware of the importance of artistic freedom. These measures help to reduce the conflict between art, culture and censorship, as guaranteed by the Constitution.
