Culture Viva Concept-Frontier

the culture point networks of the state of Goiás

Abstract

This article seeks to systematize data on the formation of Culture Viva Networks in the state of Goiás. The present investigation, through an ethnography of archives/documents, utilizes data collection from processes present in the TransfereGov Platform, with a time frame from 2005 to 2017 in which the federal cultural agency, state, municipalities, and non-profit institutions were conveners. Accessing the platform under "Open Access," the research was conducted using the "Fund to Fund" system. After selecting the "filter" button, several boxes appear for filling out and displaying the list of Programs. In the "Agency" box, it was filled with the Ministry of Culture, Goiás state was chosen, and the subject was filled in. The keywords used were "Cultural Point," "Culture Viva." In this search, 8 processes were found, with 7 in the grant modality and 1 in the Cultural Commitment Term (CCT) modality. Three processes concern direct agreements with the federated entities, namely for the creation of Culture Point Networks in: the State of Goiás initiated in 2007, the Municipality of Goiânia initiated in 2008, and the Municipality of Aparecida de Goiânia initiated in 2014. In the case of the Municipality of Aparecida de Goiânia, the stages of negotiation and transfer of resources were sent to the competent municipal authority; however, the network was not created due to the municipality's inactivity. The other five processes are direct agreements and CCTs entered into with non-profit institutions. It is noteworthy that none of these institutions were recognized as Culture Point Centers at the time.
