Dr. Bruno de Oliveira Jayme is a visual artist and an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Education (Visual Arts Education). Born and raised in Brazil, Dr. de Oliveira Jayme uses arts–based research to trouble the complex apparatus that produces and reproduces poverty and marginalization in developing countries.
His latest scholarly work has been centred on Ranciere’s distribution of the sensible, Dorchety’s aesthetic democracy, Lacanian psychoanalysis and Deleuze and Guatarri’s rhizomatic theory.
His studio practice is multidisciplinary. He works with ceramics, oil and acrylic paintings, pencil drawings, digital drawings, and large scale murals.
Through artistic expressions, Dr. de Oliveira Jayme’s research brings forth hidden narratives of oppression and untold stories of inequity, but above all, the dreams of an alternative reality for one self, a process in which he identifies as the pedagogy of possible dreams.
