Mais uma sobrevivente: um webzine sobre a uma mulher negra no Brasil

Abstract

One of the main social problems in Brazil is the oppression suffered by black women throughout their lives. Knowing this, the union of a political design, non-hegemonic communication vehicles, intersectional feminism and escreuiuência makes new possibilities to contribute to this debate emerge. Among these possibilities, this present paper aims to produce an autobiographical webzine about my experience as a black woman in Brazil, from a graphic designer’s social perspective and the design of digital interfaces. For this, I used Vianna et al (20t0)’s design thinking as a fundamental approach to the methodology, going through the stages of immersion in the problem, ideation of solutions and prototyping the final project’s proposal. With that, driven by Conceição Evaristo's concept of escreuiuência (2005a), I developed the webzine Mais Uma Sobreuiuente, in which I tell my personal trajectory in a poetic and artistic way, exposing the ways and situations in which sexist and racist oppressions affected me as a brazilian black woman. In this way, understanding that I am an exception to the rule for being a black woman at the university, I designed and redesigned an individual and collective history through design, highlighting the importance of the presence of black women occupying spaces and sharing their stories.
