EXU: abrigos portáteis para a população de rua

Abstract

The present study aims at the development and production of a collectionof prints, with graphic prints of simple execution for applications in ponchosmade from popular blankets. The focus of this production looks at a population made up of men and women, in the most diverse age groups, living on the streets. The definition of the prints took into account the extensive set of elements associated with street life and the works of Hélio Oiticica (parangolés), Andy Warhol (screen prints) and Mônica Nador (textile printing techniques for popular use). The research defined the symbology associated with the EXU as a guide for the creation of graphic elements. The practical executions of prototyping and stamping took place collectively among users, professionals and supporters of CAPS AD Cia do Recomeço in Santa Maria, RS. From this, two finished pieces were produced, using four of the nine modules developed. Printing techniques based on serigraphy and stencil with paint application with brush and stencil with spray paint application were tested and evaluated. Among these, the use of spray proved to be more efficient, considering the purpose of the pieces on which the prints were applied, the support and coverage of the paint.
