| Summary: | This essay addresses the practice of drawing in the field, highlighting the Carlos Marighella Occupation (OCM) in Fortaleza, Ceará, through the memories of the occupants, examining their organization and political mobilization during the COVID-19 pandemic. I use ethnographic design to portray the experiences of the occupation’s residents, highlighting the changes, tensions, and perspectives throughout the fieldwork. The results highlight fundamental issues for anthropology, emphasizing the need for deep immersion in the field to understand the use of graphic techniques. In addition to not being afraid to use other writing styles, we must overcome the frustration of the process until we can see the best ways to learn about doing research. Just as in the city, everything is constantly changing, and our ethnographic gaze must keep pace with these changes. |
