In this article, we investigate the relationship between arts and sciences as presented in Brazilian theses and dissertations from 2018 to 2022, aiming to understand their contributions as current strategies for science communication. We conducted qualitative research using literature mapping, based on a search in the Theses and Dissertations Archive from the Brazilian Federal Agency for Support and Evaluation of Graduate Education – CAPES. After analyzing 61 studies, we inferred their typologies and main ideas. The results point to six approach perspectives for using this relationship in science communication, demonstrating its potential to contribute to a viewpoint that deconstructs hegemonic ideas about science.
