Poderes plantásticos: uma representação da sabedoria herbal das mulheres do interior do Ceará através do livro ilustrado

Abstract

The present essay has the objective of developing an illustrated book, based on concepts of design inspired by nature, with emphasis on the wisdom of women from the rural areas of Ceará about the use of medicinal plants. For the effectiveness of this project, a reflection was established about the importance of nature to human health and how tied the feminine experience is with healing through plants. The methodology chosen for the project is Ecosystemic design, having chosen the method developed by professor Emílio Augusto Gomes de Oliveira, the F.L.O.R.A method, which reinforces in its structure the benefits of the union between human beings and the process and complex systems of nature. Beyond ethnobotanical reflections, in this essay it is incentivized experimentation in an editorial project with knowledge of design inspired by nature, bringing examples of projects that have a socio-environmental view that will inspire the final result
