Abstract

This article presents the results of the development of collaboration tools between designers and an extrracivist babaçu coconut community from Matinha, Maranhão that are part the outreach project called Maranhão´s conography: codesign and empowerment among designers and craftswomen and the production of images in the field. Based on the theoretical-methodological reflections of Design Anthropology, it was proposed, through the collective creation of a game, to work on abstract and theoretical questions about the parameters for the empowerment of the World Economic Forum report. The practice of collective work, as a correspondence practice has brought localized and synchronic answers to abstract issues such as economics, politics, health, and education. The production of images in the field, with the co-researchers (craftswomen and their children) brought the daily routine to the game, producing debates, creating a common space for the negotiation of problems and obstacles to empowerment and awareness of such issues.
