Sumario:In this work we analyze how the aesthetic expression of collectives in the city of Teresina (Piaui, Brazil) is related to the decolonial argument, especially from the perspective of the intellectuals of Modernity-Coloniality Group. A qualitative field research was carried out with collective formations from Teresina, based on the apprehension of interviews with their members, in focus group sessions; and the selection of posts on their social media Facebook and Instagram. The data were interpreted by the method of Critical Discourse Analysis, in the Faircloughian dialectical-relational aspect. The results showed that these groups represent an important face of contemporary activism, as they evoke sensations and perception processes that dialogue with diversity. In this sense, we conclude that clothing, artifacts, and corporeities/performances are used to offer visibility to groups socially excluded by the colonial-modern logic, awakening other sensations and perceptions about the standardization and universalization of ways of being and living.
