Culturas DIY, feminismos e ativismos digitais

Abstract

In this article, we propose a theoretical-empirical intersection of three fundamental themes, namely do-it-yourself (DIY) practices, feminism and decolonial digital activism. Adopting the typology of a case study and based on the use of a qualitative methodology, fostered by an indirect autobiographical interview, we proceeded to sociologically analyse the trajectory of one of the people responsible for creating Wiki Editoras Lx. We intend to discuss digital activism and the DIY and do-it-together (DIT) practices and ethos promoted by Wiki Editoras, as a strategy/process to promote processes of identity (re)construction, resistance and social change embodied in the exercise of artistic practices - with an activist profile - by women and LGBTQI+ actors. In fact, the focus is on editing Wikipedia as a means of combating the invisibility of women artists in contemporary societies.
