Poéticas para dilatar imaginários: grupalidades, arte e sexodissidências como gesto contracolonial em pesquisa

Abstract

By leveraging the gaps created by feminist, transfeminist, and decolonial epistemologies, this work narrates an intervention research aimed at investigating meanings produced about sexuality and subjectivity from the perspectives of non-binariness and non-monogamy, based on ten meetings in Creativity Groups with twelve sex-dissident individuals. Inviting participatory, artistic, feminist, and decolonial methodologies for group work, we present the preparation of the research workshops, the meetings with the group, the transformations of the participants, the learnings and perceived affections. Between the rigid line of normative temporalities - which expect linearity, progress, stability - and the divergent lines that the group reveals by inhabiting multiple, simultaneous, misaligned times, the research narrated here draws inspiration from cartography. The analysis of the traces of the creative processes in groups brings to light a web: other worlds in the misalignment of binary time. We present here a proposal: that art can open powerful pathways to listen to and express dissenting experiences, without reducing them to fixed or normative categories, a writing that aims to counteract a psychology, perhaps to engender a decolonial psychology, or a counter-psychology, announcing multiplicities.
