Gender and decoloniality: thinking Brazilian design through local women’s knowledge and textile practices
Abstract
Rethinking design is essential to meet Sustainable Development Goals 5 and 12, as the field is also acknowledged for its important social role. In this article, we reflect on gender and decoloniality in Brazilian design to think about the field through women’s handmade textile production, mostly present in home environments, aiming for commercial, emotional, and family-related purposes.
