Design e práticas sustentáveis com grupo de mulheres sob vulnerabilidade socioeconômica e ambiental em comunidades remanescentes quilombolas da Lapa - PR

Abstract

The journeys of design can intertwine in diverse ways, since, when these pathways that lead to sustainability become notceable, old practices can emerge, like those connected to the women artisans. Within this context, the objective of the present study was to develop a work plan that would integrate the design and the sustainability of form that could contribute to the autonomy of women under socioeconomic and environmental vulnerability and, as well, would broaden their quality of life. The methodological framework was applied to a group of female remnants of quilombolas residentes in the town of Lapa. These women correspond play the role social actors in the sensibilization process. A qualitative approach was used, by the means of bibliographic, documental and ethnographic research with the usage of the arch method. For this purpose, sistematic observation and focus groups were included with thematic workshops about identity, community, territory, environmental issues, health, and correct waste disposal. At the same time, the artisans learned: embroidery, stamp design, loom, manual sewing and other activities the group wished to develop. As a result, a construction of new methodological purpose was obtained, and it contributed to the development of manual skills and boosted more sustainable handcraft practices.
