Autorretrato: o sexismo, o machismo e o racismo como atravessamento da ima de si em ilustrações

Abstract

In this memoir, I present and discuss my production of self-portraits with race and gender relations as the central axis for the problematization of poetic creation. Using the autoethnography method to investigate my relationship with my image and how it has changed over time, I approach my artistic process from perceptions and experiences, discussed here from theorists such as bell hooks, Griffin, Neusa Santos, Kabengele Munanga, which enabled me to understand the importance of my production beyond an individual issue, but as a situation that is shared and felt in an expanded way in our society. From this point, I understood that the study of the self-portrait can be used in the education of children, especially black children, strengthening their self-esteem, starting from the hypothesis that the self-portrait goes beyond the image captured by itself, but is also in other types of artistic creations, understanding that they are not unique experiences, but shared, thus being a place of self-affirmation of differences and new possibilities of life in the difference.
