Resumo:
This investigative study, intertwined with my personal, activist and artistic trajectory, uses the understanding and application of the concept of Erotic Power, developed by Audre Lorde ([1978] 2019), to analyze the epistemologies of black and decolonial feminism, present in the practices and written production of peripheral black artists and activists, members of the Núcleo de Mulheres Negras – O amor cura, a feminist care and studies group, created in 2015 in Capão Redondo district, on the outskirts of the south zone of São Paulo. Faced with a context of racial and gender tensions, these women took advantage of black feminist and decolonial theory, expressing their positions and ruptures through writing and political-activist action. For the documentary and investigative analysis of these experiences, I use the concept of Writing developed by Conceição Evaristo from 1993, in dialogue with the Black Feminist Activist Research method by Rosália Lemos (2016), as exploratory and qualitative theoretical research methodologies, fundamentally considering the experiences, trajectories and social markers that affect and intersect in the group studied.
