RACE AND GENDER IN THE PUBLICATIONS OF THE INSTITUTO TERRA, TRABALHO E CIDADANIA

Abstract

Women released from the Brazilian prison system face a process of social reintegration marked by informational isolation, structural racism, and state negligence, a context that disproportionately affects Black women. This study aims to analyze the ITTC Recomenda series as an information source for formerly incarcerated women and the issues of race and gender that emerge in these publications. The research, of a basic nature and qualitative approach, was characterized as exploratory and descriptive. Data collection focused on eleven posts from the series published between January 2024 and January 2026, which were submitted to an inductive thematic categorization from which three analytical axes emerged. The first axis revealed the prominence of female and Black narratives, through the dissemination of works created by formerly incarcerated women and peripheral artists. The second axis highlighted the dispute over memory as a means of confronting state violence, with emphasis on the recurrence of content about the Carandiru Massacre and the policy of expelling migrants. The third axis demonstrated the articulation between the right to the city and intersectionality, through recommendations that encourage the occupation of cultural spaces and participation in political mobilizations. It is concluded that the analyzed curation acts simultaneously in combating informational isolation and in the symbolic struggle against the invisibilization of formerly incarcerated women, offering repertoires of autonomy and belonging.
