description This paper aims to present the practices of care and identity affirmation, developed in conjunction with the Coletiva Mulheres da Quebrada, in an intersectional dialogue with community social psychology and black feminism. This theoretical and methodological commitment is based on the recognition of the epistemological and methodological limitations of psychology, which gains potential when articulated with different knowledge and worldviews. We call for the blackening of psychology through the Afro-centered epistemic resumption, making it possible to construct emancipatory notions of subject and society. We present a set of practices carried out by ColetivA, which are based on the affirmation of society projects with a view to social transformation, the protection of life and a reorientation of care. To qualify the discussion, some analyzes produced from the scenes experienced in group psychosocial intervention meetings that took place between 2022 and 2023 will be presented, with women who frequent the ColetivA space. The scenes are presented based on the areas of activity in which ColetivA is structured (mental health, social assistance, sociocultural and self-care meetings). The path taken so far has made it possible to give new meaning to the identity of black women by highlighting their protagonism and calling on them to share responsibility for care. We can see how the promotion of mental health has brought symbolic and psychosocial benefits, through the affirmation of a self-concept, the construction of critical thinking and the mirroring of a collective identity.

Este artículo tiene como objetivo presentar las prácticas de cuidado y afirmación de la identidad, desarrolladas en conjunto con la Coletiva Mulheres da Quebrada, en un diálogo interseccional con la psicología social comunitaria y el feminismo negro. Este compromiso teórico y metodológico se basa en el reconocimiento de las limitaciones epistemológicas y metodológicas de la psicología, que gana potencialidad al articularse con diferentes saberes y cosmovisiones. Llamamos a ennegrecer la psicología a través de la reanudación epistémica afrocéntrica, haciendo posible la construcción de nociones emancipadoras de sujeto y sociedad. Presentamos un conjunto de prácticas realizadas por ColetivA, que se basan en la afirmación de proyectos de sociedad con miras a la transformación social, la protección de la vida y la reorientación de los cuidados. Para calificar la discusión, se presentarán algunos análisis producidos a partir de las escenas vividas en encuentros grupales de intervención psicosocial ocurridos entre 2022 y 2023, con mujeres que frecuentan el espacio ColetivA. Los escenarios se presentan en función de las áreas de actividad en las que se estructura ColetivA (salud mental, asistencia social, encuentros socioculturales y de autocuidado). El camino recorrido hasta ahora ha permitido dar un nuevo significado a la identidad de las mujeres negras, destacando su protagonismo y llamándolas a compartir la responsabilidad del cuidado. Podemos ver cómo la promoción de la salud mental ha traído beneficios simbólicos y psicosociales, a través de la afirmación de un autoconcepto, la construcción de un pensamiento crítico y la reflexión de una identidad colectiva. Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar as práticas de cuidado e afirmação identitária, desenvolvidas em articulação com a Coletiva Mulheres da Quebrada, em diálogo interseccional com a psicologia social comunitária e o feminismo negro. Esta aposta teórico metodológica está assentada no reconhecimento das limitações epistemológicas e metodológicas da psicologia, que ganha uma potencialidade ao se articular com diferentes saberes e cosmovisões. Convocamos para o enegrecimento da psicologia pela retomada epistêmica afrocentrada, possibilitando construir noções emancipatórias de sujeito e sociedade. Apresentamos um conjunto de práticas realizadas pela ColetivA, as quais se dão pela afirmação de projetos de sociedade com vistas à transformação social, à proteção da vida e a uma reorientação do cuidado. Para qualificar a discussão, serão apresentadas algumas análises produzidas a partir das cenas vivenciadas nos encontros de intervenção psicossocial em grupo ocorridos entre 2022 e 2023, com as mulheres que frequentam o espaço da ColetivA. As cenas são apresentadas a partir das frentes de atuação em que a ColetivA se estrutura (saúde mental, assistência social, encontros socioculturais e de autocuidado). O caminho trilhado até aqui tem possibilitado ressignificar a identidade da mulher negra ao destacar o seu protagonismo e convocá-las a corresponsabilização do cuidado. Podemos ver como a promoção de saúde mental tem trazido benefícios simbólicos e psicossociais, pela afirmação de um autoconceito, a construção de um pensamento crítico e o espelhamento de uma identidade coletivA.
