The university has shown itself a place of forms of violence related to gender and its intersectionalities that affect all students. To give visibility to these attacks, alumnus from the three public universities in São Paulo (UNESP, USP and UNICAMP) are mobilizing and creating collectives in digital social networks where they share texts and images - produced or reposted from other sources - whose aim is to reveal their struggle in building academic spaces free of discrimination. The objective is to analyze these visual pieces - illustrations and photographs - created for Facebook and Instagram platforms, in order to understand if these images are intended to "decolonize the look", that is, if they deconstruct the colonialist logics of perception of bodies, of genders and sexualities. This research is based on the concept of decolonization of the gaze, as described by Latin American authors, like Barriendos (2019), Léon (2012) and Schenkler (2019; 2017;2016; 2012).
