This paper analyzes the polycontextual relationships of the arts. The present study draws on the work of Nicolai Hartmann's aesthetics and Rudolf Kaehr's diamond theory to propose an understanding of aesthetic experience as a dynamic system of non-linear relationships. From this perspective, the artwork operates as a proemial object capable of generating multiple links between the material and the immaterial, the individual and the collective, the local and the intercultural. This theoretical framework will be applied to the analysis of a work by vocal artist Fátima Miranda, in order to explore art as a living practice that intertwines memory, imagination, and new values within an intercultural framework, going beyond simply being a vehicle for meaning.Downloads
