“What's going on here”:

cartography of theWords Workshop in a Community Center

Abstract

This article intends to present and discuss the construction process of the group “Oficina de Palavras”, started during fieldwork of the second year of training at the Multiprofessional Mental Health Residence at UNICAMP, held in a Community Center. To cover this path, clues and resources from the Cartography Method postulated by Deleuze and Guatarri, will be used. From a return visit to the group field diaries, affective records and concerns raised by such affections, one will seek  to understand what produces the group and what is produced by it, raising reflections about the modes of subjectivities and production of life observed in practice, from the dialogue between care, art and  production of the common.
We will see how the workshop participants' appropriation of a dominant mode of expression (writing) led to the crossing of the dividing line that separates these bodies from cultural production. There is an increase in cultural citizenship, which is extremely relevant to the production of life and the expansion of its possibilities.
