Queimadas: a metáfora da caça às bruxas empreendida durante a colonização para pensar violência contra mulher nas cidades.

Abstract

This text chronicles my experience as an artist, researcher and feminist in the city of Assis-SP through the photographic series "Burned" try to evoke notions such as the witch hunt and the colonization, burning happens in vacant lots, because of dry weather or when some resident wants to "clean up" the land of weeds. These same spaces, vacant lots are spaces of fear, when he circled back, afraid to suffer abuse in those places, we have reports of harassment and persecution, a sparsely populated region and near the University. Through the photos, invite friends and do self portraits able to announce how the practice of hunting of witches, metaphorically can talk about stalking and harassing women in the streets of the city. As well as the ashes there left, refer to violence suffered, but can also be a symbol of resistance and survival practices to violence. Keywords: Decolonization, feminism, contemporary art.
