ABSTRACT

This chapter presents ethnographic studies of social actors acting in their everyday life in the last ten years and have found that many social actors paint, write poetry, or dance, but only a few of them are considered community artists, poets, or dancers. It presents an ethnographic study of Andrea. Andrea began her artistic career just as many social actors who paint, do by copying and elaborating a piece of art that she admired. She had painted the Scream as her first painting. A creative action is a mediated action, which is linked to a particular social actor, to particular mediational means, and to particular actions that ensue and to those that precede it. The community artist identity in everyday life, is not simply produced by creative actions, but is produced through different actions by the social actor, by members of the immediate network, and by members of the wider network.
