This video was made in the Master "Education, Gender, Body and Violence" (Faculty of Psychology and Sciences of Education of the University of Porto, during the semester February - May 2021. The group of students took the article by Donna Haraway (1992) Ecce Homo and elaborated some of the ideas in the text and present them in a collective work that can be seen in the video.
The reflection proposed by Donna Haraway was worked by all the students and re-appropriated for our feminist thoughts and actions.
It was both fun and rewarding to produce a collective work. We could extend our analysis to the fact that human figuration still is based on a man, as a suffering servant and savior. How can we imagine other ways of representing humanity outside this picture? A representation that can be inclusive, i.e., not excluding others, eccentric, from the margins, silenced, marginalized and ignored?
A way to get throw to an imaginable new human figuration is to proceed as Donna Haraway suggest - to think what could be this figuration / representation if we took another Figure to build another picture.
