| Sumario: | This proposal is for an ethnography of the imagination, from what I call a ritual aesthetic practice of symbolic community production and feminist resilience through the popular art of making little black dolls. Since the beginning of the decade of Afrodescendencia, the Piel Canela group from the Chota valley has been developing a polysemic art-craft project that offers multiple meanings and co-creative possibilities such as recovering the Afro-Andean Ecuadorian clothing traditions; showing the local agricultural and commercial practices; and the representation of women’s life stories that have lost in the history of Latin America and the world.The project develops a maroon pedagogy that involves teaching in nomadic doll-making workshops in different parts of the country, where sisters interested in learning this decolonial aesthetic are summoned. In this way, nomadic, dialogical, secrecy, rest, playfulness, mischief, and other female complicity spaces are built, allowing the development of emotional narratives that transcend the word to embody different kinds of speeches, arguments, and rhetoric healing processes.
