The research aimed to discuss the relationship between culture and development in the municipality of Pintadas, located in a region that, in the social imagination, has often been associated with poverty and backwardness. Pintadas subverts the hegemonic discourse and presents itself as a possible place by articulating a set of civil society experiences from the perspective of sustainable development and in light of living with the semi-arid region. Therefore, the investigation analyzes the contributions and impacts of cultural projects led by the Rheluz Performing Arts Company and their effects at the local and regional levels.

The research analyzes the meanings of "Living with the Semi-Arid Region" and the extent to wich its discourses and pratices contribute to the re-signification of this territorial space. "Living with the Semi-Arid Region" is understood as a new paradigm for thinking, understanding, and acting upon the Sertão, which for a long time was seen as synonymous with inertia and backwardness. One of the objectives of this work is to investigate how this model generates new discourses about this territory, the characteristics of these narratives, and their influence of identity dimensions and the reconfiguration of the popular imagination about it.
