Palenque sonoro de neocimarronas afrocosteñas. Procesos de autoreconocimiento de mujeres afrodescendientes de la Costa Chica, México y el Cesar, Colombia

Abstract

The black women of the Costa Chica of Mexico and Cesar, Colombia share a series of characteristics derived from their Afrodescents, as well as from the way they live and conceive the world. Being an afrocosteña means receiving systemic violence derived from the "colonial wound" causing intersensibilities in said body linked to a sense of shame, inferiority and non existence. The process of self-recognition is the first step to break with said violence exercised to claim that body. Self-recognition occurs from poetics and sonorities linked to processes of accompaniment, care and generation of links between afrowomen. This research-creation project is the testimony of the re-existence processes of afrocosteñas from Mexico and Colombia, including the story of this woman who writes. To assume oneself as an black woman afrocosteña and to vindicate it from the poetics and sonorities are decolonial processes of neo-brownness that turn the body of the "bad race" into a "body of political territory of rebellion." Through Artistic Studies, we reflect on the process of struggle that black women are leading in their erritories, where poetics and sonorities have become vital in this event.
