colonialism, representation, indigenous, women, Yacunã TuxáAbstract
Colonization created several images about indigenous subjects and these representations mythologized and reduced their subjectivities over time. In the case of indigenous women, this imaginary was configured in an even more problematic way since, in addition to being inscribed in a binary colonial logic, these bodies were historically constructed and fixed on the models of a patriarchal society. This work presents a reading different from these fabrications with the work We are not Iracema by the artist and illustrator Yacunã Tuxá, an indigenous woman of the Tuxá Nation, who questions these paradigms and presents a questioning and contemporary look in her works.
