| description |
The article analyzes the self-representation of black women in comics produced by Brazilian comic artists Bennê Oliveira, who signs as leve.mente.insana, and Lila Cruz, who uses the pseudonym colorlilas. Occasionally, it is interesting to point out the way such artists use graphic resources that are different from the conventional models established in manuals on how to draw women, using a visual language that is in dispute with the pre-existing colonized language and which, for a long period, remained hegemonic. It defends the premise that drawing oneself, including oneself in their stories, telling their experiences and those of many other black women, figures as a political gesture to raise and celebrate their own voice, presenting themselves as subjects of their stories; no longer the Other, object or objectified. In their comics, female characters narrate and star in stories that sometimes transcend the biographical, nevertheless establish deep relationships with their life experiences, thus becoming fictional testimonies about their experiences. They are, therefore, graphic ways of presenting themselves to the world and of self-constituting through stories that are not always true, but that bring elements from their experiences of young, Brazilian, peripheral, black, Latino, comic book artists. |
