Black community feminism in the Southwest of Colombia as a form of self-governance

Abstract

This article explores a possible definition of Black community feminism based on the experience of one of the Mayoras of the Pacific region of Colombia. The research also seeks to contribute to the recognition of the work of women in the region and their own government and governance, based on organizational studies from the Afro-diasporic perspective. The methodology adopted is the ethnographic autobiography. The results show that this feminism could be understood as the practices of some Black women of the Pacific region of Colombia while leading the community, considering art as an essential element in this process.
