Abstract

This article sheds light on the relationship between art, education, and politics, focusing on non-formal education actions in the area of ​​scientific dissemination, where the interest for dialogue between art and science is growing. An intertwining of various fields of knowledge poses specific challenges, arranged in multiple layers. Either those related to the status assigned to each field and the consequent influence on policies deployed for them or pedagogical strategies, which should be designed in order to consider their own alphabets in each area at stake; or also to the fact that we live in an age when the dominant paradigm is the scientific one. The background for the discussion proposed here consists of activities conducted by the ‘Spaces of Science’ linked to the Foundation Center for Science and Distance Higher Education of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Fundação Centro de Ciências e Educação Superior a Distância do Estado do Rio de Janeiro – CECIERJ). It was found that combining art and science can contribute to understanding affections, disaffections, emotions, historical principles, social motives, political interests, partisan inclinations, and so many other determinants of knowledge production.
