SUMMARY:

ABSTRACT: 

 

Embroidery from Serido is a secular craft, brought during Portuguese colonization, with a strong influence from the Island of Madeira, and disseminated among women in the region through education for the home. During the 20th century, the textile vocation of Seridó emerged and underwent transformations, with its crisis starting in the 1980s, causing a strong exodus from the region, followed by a restructuring of the productive bases with the creation of hat shops, factions, knitwear, net weaving, among others. In the last decade, embroidery has undergone transformations in the productive model, leaving a traditional context to reach the hegemonic market of globalized fashion. The present study has the general objective of reflecting on the productive model and the intersections of gender, development and decoloniality, based on the case study of the life stories of embroiderers and their trajectories at Casa das Bordadeiras, in Timbaúba dos Batistas, in the territory of Seridó Potiguar. As a starting question, we seek to question the social and economic importance of the embroidery activity to provide income for women in the region. As methodological procedures, the research included the application of a structured virtual questionnaire, to identify the profile of the embroiderers, in addition to holding a workshop, using participatory strategies and methodologies, with a sample of 55% of the embroiderers participating in interviews semi-structured and narrated their life stories. Semi-structured interviews were also carried out with representatives involved in the handicraft production sector in RN. It was found that of the research participants, 65% of them have an income of up to 1 minimum wage, even accumulating two or more workdays, with a workload of up to 12 hours a day, with the absence of contracts and formalization. The results indicate the Casa das Embroiderers as a territory lived and resisted, an essential element for a discussion of Territorial Development Policies in a counter-hegemonic perspective, which consider embroidery as cultural heritage, from the strengthening of regional identity, the seal of indication newly conquered geographical area, to circumvent the exodus from the region and guarantee work and income.
