Vol. 12 No. 2 (2022): Portuguese Journal of Arts Education

In this new issue of the Portuguese Journal of Artistic Education, it is possible to traverse a broad spectrum of artistic and educational investigations. Alexsander Barbozza da Silva presents "Between Dances, Stories, and Teaching," an immersion into the concepts of Dance/Education in Brazil, revealing the richness of interpretations and practices that emerge in this field. Carolina Faria and Pedro Boia bring "The Regionalization of the Music Education Curriculum in the 2nd Cycle of Basic Education in Madeira Island," a thorough study on how the cultural identity of the region permeates music education, with all the challenges that entails.

In the third article, Vera Monteiro e Silva reflects on "Didactics and Pedagogical Supervision" in the context of artistic education, with a particular focus on music. She invites us to consider the interaction between theory and practice and the vital role of supervision in the training of music educators.

Hugo Emanuel Vaz Pinto Rodrigues addresses the consequences of the pandemic with "A Management Approach in a Post-Pandemic Context," looking at the unique challenges faced by specialized music education at a distance.

In turn, Duarte Encarnação, in "Brief Notes on Contemporary Public Sculpture in Madeira", examines the impact and significance of artistic interventions in the Madeiran public space, highlighting the importance of art as a communicator of memory and cultural identity.

Finally, "The Portuguese Reception of Plínio Marcos' Theater" by Helciclever Barros da Silva Sales and Wagner Corsino Enedino is a rigorous analysis of how Plínio Marcos' works were received and interpreted in Portugal, raising questions about interculturality and politics in theater.

Together, these articles compose a mosaic of perspectives and studies that illustrate the complexity and beauty of artistic education and contemporary culture.
