Resumo(s)
O estágio curricular do Mestrado em Gestão Cultural decorreu na Casa da Cultura de
Santa Cruz (Casa do Revoredo), na Ilha da Madeira, tendo como foco a valorização e
revitalização da obra de vimes, prática artesanal profundamente enraizada na freguesia
da Camacha e integrante do património cultural imaterial regional. No âmbito do estágio,
foram dinamizadas oficinas de artes tradicionais e outras atividades culturais, num total
de 19 iniciativas que envolveram 114 participantes. As oficinas destacaram-se como
modelo eficaz de sensibilização e contacto intergeracional com a prática artesanal,
reforçando o papel da mediação cultural na aproximação entre património, comunidade e
públicos jovens.
Paralelamente, foram desenvolvidas iniciativas de divulgação e valorização da obra de
vimes que evidenciam o contributo de ações culturais, etnográficas e comunitárias na
sensibilização pública e na reafirmação identitária desta prática. Em conjunto, os
resultados confirmam que a revitalização da obra de vimes depende da articulação entre
artesãos, instituições culturais e comunidade, destacando a gestão cultural como
ferramenta essencial para a salvaguarda sustentável de patrimónios culturais imateriais
em risco.
Neste enquadramento, a componente investigativa procurou responder aos objetivos de
mapeamento dos artesãos em atividade, identificação das principais dificuldades do setor
e compreensão das perceções associadas à continuidade do ofício. As entrevistas
realizadas a 18 artesãos permitiram identificar e mapear 27 praticantes da arte do vime,
dos quais 44% são mulheres e 56% homens, com uma idade média de 70,6 anos. As
perceções recolhidas revelaram sentimentos ambivalentes: por um lado, o orgulho
associado à preservação da tradição; por outro, a consciência das dificuldades
económicas, da escassez de matéria-prima e da ausência de políticas públicas consistentes
de apoio ao setor.
The curricular internship of the Master’s degree in Cultural Management took place at the Casa da Cultura de Santa Cruz (Casa do Revoredo), on the island of Madeira, focusing on the valorization and revitalization of wickerwork, an artisanal practice deeply rooted in the parish of Camacha and an integral component of the region’s intangible cultural heritage. Within the scope of the internship, workshops on traditional arts and other cultural activities were implemented, totalling 19 initiatives involving 114 participants. The workshops stood out as an effective model for awareness-raising and intergenerational engagement with the artisanal practice, reinforcing the role of cultural mediation in bringing heritage, community, and young audiences closer together. In parallel, dissemination and valorisation initiatives related to wickerwork were developed, demonstrating the contribution of cultural, ethnographic, and community based actions to public awareness and to the reaffirmation of the identity associated with this practice. Taken together, the results confirm that the revitalization of wickerwork depends on the articulation between artisans, cultural institutions, and the community, highlighting cultural management as an essential tool for the sustainable safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage at risk. Within this framework, the research component sought to address the objectives of mapping active artisans, identifying the sector’s main challenges, and understanding perceptions related to the continuity of the craft. Interviews conducted with 18 artisans made it possible to identify and map 27 wickerwork practitioners, of whom 44% are women and 56% are men, with an average age of 70.6 years. The perceptions collected revealed ambivalent feelings: on the one hand, pride associated with preserving the tradition; on the other, awareness of economic difficulties, scarcity of raw materials, and the absence of consistent public support policies for the sector.
