Vida, Ambiente e Trabalho: Análise das Narrativas Fotográficas do Coletivo Mulheres do Salgueiro, São Gonçalo – RJ

Abstract

Given the current pandemic context, there are many challenges to address regarding environmental education in terms of a social movement. Thinking about strategies that allow us to interact with people living in oppression is a way of looking at others a little more fairly. Therefore, we analyzed photographic and oral narratives, with the aim of investigating the relationship that the participants of Coletivo Mulheres Salgueiro establish with the environment, mainly with the municipality of São Gonçalo. To this end, we identified the affinities between the struggle for environmental justice and the visions brought about by critical environmental education through the realization of a workshop, the construction of photographs, the carrying out of individual interviews and a photographic exhibition with the members of the Collective. The results showed that the socio-environmental issues “Work/Social Class”, “Environment” and “support network/Solidarity bonds”, cross the life stories of the participants of Mulheres do Salgueiro.
