Abstract (EN):
How can academic institutions value and promote the knowledge of retired professors
and researchers in the field of design and art? The answer to this question induces a
plurality of possibilities that share a common conclusion - Institutions could and
should do more. This paper focuses on a pedagogical experience that explored the
approach of a new generation of students to a group of retired professors and
researchers from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto (Portugal),
through the construction of graphic narrative artefacts. We started working from an
archive made by interviews, visual and sound documents that collect the pedagogical,
scientific, artistic and biographical knowledge and legacy of each professor or
researcher. It was from these materials that each student worked, first bringing
together elements that enabled the construction of the universe and particularities of
each interviewee and, finally, producing narratives that offer a critical vision of a
retired generation. We used the visual storytelling, for its ability to combine different
signs in the representation of the real and symbolic and for its creative and
communicational potential. The final publications proved that the knowledge of the
retired generation is dynamic and useful for the new generations. Its legacy is
fundamental for the understanding of the future of academic institutions and must be
worked, visible and celebrated.
