PARRA-VALENCIA, Liliana. Always alive: Emancipation, peace, and research from the garden of Heloísa. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2023, vol.31, n.3, e89880.  Epub 01-Sep-2023. ISSN 1806-9584.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2023v31n389880.

The essay addresses the healing knowledge of peasant women from Montes de María (Sucre-Bolívar, Colombia), from Black feminisms. Faced with the multiple oppressions they historically experience in the Montemarian ancestral territory, they maintain Afro-Indigenous knowledge of medicinal plants to care for their community. Thus, they resist the patriarchal order, capitalism, colonialism, and war in the context of reparation and post-agreement. The research followed participatory and narrative methodologies based on visits to the territory and meetings with the women. I conclude that determined commitment -not only discursive but also in praxis- is necessary to recognize and integrate academic knowledge and psychosocial research, the experiences and knowledge of women, from the everyday spaces of emancipation, peace, and decolonization, such as Heloísa’s garden.

Palabras clave : decoloniality; epistemology; Black feminisms; psychology.
