Os cordéis que viraram joias

Abstract

This work proposes the creation of a biojewel collection inspired by the Literature of Cordel according to the feminine point of view. The goal is for women to have a space to talk about their experiences and how this has been applied to the Cordel in order to create jewelery designs according to their perspectives as women. The development of the project is based on the study of the history of jewelry in parallel with that of women from antiquity to the contemporary biojewelery in Brazil, as well as the various natural materials used and their productive processes to open a range of possibilities for the execution of biojewelery. The research also involves the rescue of Cordel elements, such as woodcutting and the conflicting relationship with women throughout their history. To implement the project, a participative methodological approach was used based on the CAT - Collective Action Toolkit from Frog Design. The result of this course is the Collection The Cordel That Turned Jewelry and the rich exchange of experience among women who could learn more about Design, the Cordel and its relationship with the feminine universe.
