ABSTRACT
This text analyzes recent projects in Latin America that have generated important intersections between feminist and queer activism, pedagogy, and artistic practice. First, I review the experiences of the Peruvian Transvestite Museum founded by the philosopher and drag queen Giuseppe Campuzano (1969–2013), the activism in public spaces of the Serigrafistas Queer in Argentina and the work of the University Collective of Sexual Dissidence (CUDS) in Chile. I then review some pedagogical projects that redefine the intersection of education in politics and in the public sphere, such as the EspIRA program (Space for Research and Artistic Reflection) founded in 2005 by the feminist artist Patricia Belli in Nicaragua and InSite Casa Gallina, active since 2014 in Mexico. Through programs of experimental pedagogy and collective processes, these spaces propose an artistic practice based on empathy that recreate the fabric of everyday exchange while rewriting colonial and heteronormative history.
