CLEONE RIBEIRO

Pe�a Escrava

Cleone Ribeiro reside em S�o Jos� do Rio Preto - SP.?
Licenciada em Filosofia pela Universidade de S�o Paulo, Livre Docente em Teoria da Literatura pela Universidade Estadual Paulista "J�lio de Mesquita Filho", dedica-se tamb�m �s Artes Pl�sticas e � Literatura. ?‰ artista premiada em pintura e poesia. Atualmente tem se dedicado ao design de j�ias, fazendo cursos na cidade de S�o Paulo, mas esta � a primeira vez que participa de um concurso. Sua ampla forma��o human�stica, canalizada para a cria��o art�stica, volta-se, sempre que poss�vel, para a valoriza��o do humano. Nesse contexto, a j�ia "Escrava" foi concebida. Inspirada na ra�a negra, na beleza e na sensualidade de seus representantes. No momento em que as autoridades brasileiras se mostram preocupadas com as injusti�as sociais das quais o povo negro tem sido v�tima, manifesta sua solidariedade � causa, homenageando o escravo como elemento de fundamental import�ncia na forma��o do povo brasileiro. A pulseira, em parte presa por correntes e em parte liberta, simboliza tanto o per�odo de escravid�o como o de liberta��o do povo negro no Brasil. Elaborando uma j�ia valiosa, colabora para elevar o negro � posi��o social merecida.

Piece Slave

Cleone Ribeiro lives in S�o Jos� do Rio Preto - S�o Paulo.
Graduated in Philosophy at the University of S�o Paulo, Professor of Theory of Literature at S�o Paulo State University, "J�lio de Mesquita Filho", she also devotes herself to Fine Art and Literature. She has won awards in painting and poetry. Presently she has been dedicating herself to jewellery design taking couses in S�o Paulo, however, it's the first time that she has participated in a jewellery design competition. Her extensive humanistic formation, which is focused on artistic creation, is directed, whenever possible, to the valorisation of the human being. The "Slave Bracelet" jewel was conceived in this concept, inspired on the Negro race, the beauty and? sensuality of its people. At the time when the Brazilian authorities show their concern about the social injustices to which the Negro race has been victim, the artist manifests her solidarity to the cause, paying homage to the slave as an element of fundamental importance in the make up of the Brazilian people. The bracelet, a part held by chains and another part loose, represents as much the period of slavery as the emancipation of the Negro people in Brazil. The crafting of a valuable jewel helps to raise the African Brazilians to their deserved social position.
