Cuir & bi+ activism
Against bisexual erasure.
Bisexual erasure in film does not only try to invalidate our desire, it also erases our history. Bisexuality has always existed.
Writing & research
Bi+ visibility
Bisexual people have always been on screen, but rarely named. Our desire is turned into a phase, a plot twist or a betrayal, and then erased.
I write, teach and research to make that erasure visible: from essays like Friday Night, about growing up without bisexual references, to classes on bisexual erasure in film and television with activist groups in Argentina.
Because our stories matter.
The history is ours too.
Archive
Cuirteca
A living archive of Latin American queer cinema: a space to gather, care for and share films, memories, critical texts and archival materials from a queer, situated, Latin American perspective.
It is not just a database. It is a way to activate memory, contest the images we inherit and make room for the stories cinema tried to erase.
Cuirteca began with the research for a seminar on the history of Latin American queer cinema at Vierte Welle Film Festival, and grew out of my curatorial work there.
To archive is to intervene in the present.
Curation
Cuir Pride
A programme of Latin American queer film and art at Vierte Welle Film Festival, the feminist and queer short film festival in Berlin.
It celebrates voices that have been historically silenced, and shares, educates and gives visibility to queer and FLINTA+ filmmakers from Latin America. Its first editions were called Latinx Pride.
Where art and the fight for equality come together.
Talks, curation & photography
Feminism
Feminism is the lens I work through, behind and in front of the camera.
I give talks and workshops on how to read images with a critical, feminist gaze, curate feminist film programmes, and photograph the marches that connect Buenos Aires and Berlin.
Looking is also political.
