ABSTRACT
This chapter proposes a visual criticism grounded in Latin America, in its paradoxes and political struggles, in its uncomfortable positions and alliances, centring specifically on the possibilities of producing a feminist and cuir gaze and perspective. The chapter explores which theoretical tools are available for deciphering the epistemological possibilities generated by feminist and cuir visualities produced from the South and its peripheries. It discusses how a cuir and decolonial grammar of Latin American visuality can be proposed and new ways of looking and appearance proposed. This is achieved through a discussion of visual work of some independent Mexican publications, which are considered as both signposts for understanding the politics of this kind of Mexican independent visual production and examples of cuir visuality.
