Children's Performances: an invitation to unseeing with children

Abstract

In this article, we aimed to problematize the image performances carried out by 3-year-old children and how these productions cross the context in which they were created: an Early Childhood Education school and a doctoral research in progress. We discuss the intertwining and reverberations of the conceptions of childhood that direct education and the potencies of the images fraught with childhood that create possibilities of cracking the singular and adult-centric ways of being, feeling, and living. It is concluded that, guided by an ethical, aesthetic and political intention, the children's performances create possibilities and announce the urgency of other postures when inhabiting childhood spaces.
