This paper presents elements of a study conducted with a black women’s collective that operates in the city of Vitória, ES, called Das Pretas (Black Women’s). It aims to interpret modes of subjectivation and construction of the group based on relations between body, consumption and political identities. It is a qualitative research with participant observation as its main strategy. To generate data, we used a field diary, semi-structured interviews, and information available on websites linked to the Collective. Then, categories of analysis were built as an interpretative strategy to understand those processes within the collective and their relationship to the body. This work allows reflections about black corporeity in today’s Brazil by highlighting that collective’s ideas, proposals and actions as well as by offering some criticism to the discourse about the model body found during the research.
