Não mexe comigo que eu não ando só: : a reflection on collectives and initiatives of female historians on the Internet (Brasil, 2010-2023)

Abstract

The few records of women comic artists in the last decades of the twentieth century has motivated efforts in the field of gender and feminist studies. Such efforts are evidenced by scarce articles, dissertations and theses, and initiatives by women’s collectives that seek, through articulations, events and publications, to disseminate not only what is produced today by women comic artists, but also to do justice to the memory of past and present artists. Our goal is to accomplish an overview of these collectives, initiatives and networks that are engaged through websites, blogs, online social networks and offline actions in the task of carrying out an important work of curatorship, dissemination and collective organization in Brazil. From 2010, we hightlight the initiatives of Lady’s Comics and Mina de HQ, in addition to more recent collectives that emerged in the northern region such as Mulheres Artistas do Pará - MARPARA and Serendi, which bring together artists from Pará, and MáTinta, which is composed of women comic artists from Amazonas.
