Artistic practice as a place of visibility of transgender woman from Pereira (Colombia)

Abstract

The artistic practice has privileged the experience of the "lived" by women and other subjects because such practice is in itself a knowledge of human experience. This sensitive opening to the "lived" allows to embrace, in the creative exercise, all human beings, as well as all the spheres in which they experience their subjectivity. The purpose of this article is to show the results of the research-creation carried out with five transgender women and a community of men and women creators in the city of Pereira, Colombia, whose aesthetic and artistic records produced new symbolic and cognitive operations when converting the experience of the "lived" into a weave of visibility, interlocution and vindication of the subjectivities and their cognitive, social, political, sexual and gender identifications.
