The present work seeks to investigate how performatic writing helps in the production of
subjectivity and expressiveness of black women, through writing workshops, where
performative acts of the word occur, and in this process analyzing how memories occupy
a space in these writings of themselves, as trajectories in performances of a majitarily
subalternized and stigmatized group Representation that commonly departs from two
poles: oppression and resistance, affecting in a certain way the complex relationship that
intersects the concepts. In order to break with this logic and think about these subjects
in a non-dichotomous way and to deal with the complexity of being a black woman in our
society, I worked from Gloria Anazaldua's open letter. In order to base the axes of
analysis, Gloria's notes (1980) will be used in a perspective of what it is to be an artist-
writer, Kimlomba (2019) about memory as identity and; Paul Zumthor(2008) in the
perspective of performance and orality, a concept widely experienced during these
workshops, thinking about writing, performance, memory in an integrated perspective.
