Archivo de la Memoria Trans
Art Designer
The Trans Memory Archive gathers the images and stories of trans women for more than 50 years, preserving the memory of those who suffered the outrages of the police, the abandonment of the State and the hostility of the society that witnessed, indolent, a silent genocide. Cintia, Edith, María Belén and Trachyn survived. They share with us the intimacy and complexity of those who faced injustice and pain with humor and creativity, but also with organization and community. In the style of a documentary essay, the series is structured along four axes, each one starring one of them: they talk about carnival, affection, exile and organization, and through their personal experiences they open the door to understand the reality of an entire community.
