Terrane : a decolonial lens to read production processes in brazil’s northeastern region and the pedreira women from Sertão do Pajeú.

Terrane : una lente decolonial para leer los procesos de producción de la región nordeste y las mujeres pedreiras del Sertão do Pajeú.

This article engages in the analysis of the first stage of the creative process known as Terrane, wherein artist Ana Lira starts investigating production processes in water-storage technologies, as experimented by women in Brazilian semi-arid lands, along with their feminist, social, and environmental organization strategies. The analysis articulates a reflection upon modes of production across the Northeastern Region, within the framework of the Brazilian national imaginary, as a disabled territory in need of ongoing tutelage. In that line, I understand Terrane as a decolonial lens that allows us to read/feel in another way the processes of spatial and subjective production among women and the region.
