Popular health education, art, and multiple languages

Abstract

Once upon a time, there was a text-provocation written by six hands. These six hands belonged to three hearts and three minds of three subjects who have been experiencing the potentiality of the sensible in their academic and professional quotidian. Moved by happiness and affections, these hands wove some reflections about the possibilities of art and the multiple languages to the field of popular health education. The thoughts also included the contributions of investing in the aesthetic dimension to expand the possibilities of actions, of knowledge production, and of teaching-learning processes with a critical, participatory, emancipating, and, above all, creative, inclusive, and lovely perspective. Their writings sometimes were presented by verse, other times by prose. While talking with other artists, philosophers, and educators, the hands rehearsed the challenges and the potentialities that happen when the popular health education intersects with the art and multiples languages. The end! – Or, actually, as you, dear reader, will read at the final of this paper: The end is getting out now to allow the beginning of a lot of other starts!
