Abstract

This theoretical essay, based on an analysis of the worldview and artistic manifestations of the Guarani Mbya, seeks to present characteristics of the life and education of this original people, which focus on a poetics that relates playing, learning, art and living. Through the stories of Nhanderu, the ritual to identify the true name, wooden animals, spiritual and protest songs, musical instruments, basketry, body painting and dances, the Guarani educate for ancestry, autonomy, freedom and care. In this sense, it is worth learning from them in order to change the decolonial, capitalist, standardizing and traditionalist characteristics that still persist in education.
