Autonomous design and sustainability through resistance, indigenous ecology and environmental feminism.

This article seeks to understand how the autonomous design of an indigenous community is entangled with environmental feminism, indigenous ecology and resistance for sustainability. We are discussing texts by Martínez (2017) to understand the indigenous ecology and resistances to achieve respect for mother earth; Vandana Shiva & Maria Mies (1997), Pascual & Herrero (2010) and Montilla & Ledezma (2016) to talk about environmental feminism focused on indigenous communities; and finally we will review texts by Escobar (2016) and Manzini (2015) to reflect on autonomous design projected by diffuse designers for sustainability. As a case of discussion, we bring Catalina's case and the design of a water catchment system.
