Resumo:
We present an attempt to develop feminist-oriented design practices, through an approach to the field of design that tries to distance itself from the essentialist approaches that historically place the designer as a creative genius or that define design drawing from idealized abstractions. Inspired by the praxis of feminist consciousness raising groups from the 1960s, and from other dynamics of the feminisms from 2015 onwards, we study collective feminist activities of a critical nature to think about the processes of construction of social relations that are not directly mediated by capital, with a special emphasis in creative processes. Meetings, performances, aesthetic-political actions, construction of strikes and demonstrations, are some of the actions here addressed to help us highlight the overlaying between art, protest, design, bodies, and personal experiences, especially in their intertwining with the categories of militancy and design. The analysis, reflection and experience of such practices originated the fieldwork that took place in this project, which was based on online workshops for women, mediated by this researcher. The methodology of the workshops was designed to highlight the role of the creative processes in the collective female experience. Based on action-research and creative research, we propose to queerize design, transgress practices, and expand the possibilities of field of action. The collective practices proposed in our workshops created bonds of friendship and mentoring based on sensitization, on the organization of women around common agendas, on the strengthening of feminist consciences, all of which indicated that several of the problems experienced by women in general are structural and collective, and not individual and private. Lastly all of our field development took place remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which also added another (unexpected) layer of complexity to our research.
