The importance of archives in perpetuating queer liberation movements
Abstract
For the "Que suene a bóveda" I Ibero-American LGTBIQ+ Congress, from May 30th to
June 1st, 2023, I have chosen to present a video in which I create a mind map displaying a
collection of files, personalities, and key places in the history of queer liberation movements.
This form of mind map references the research I conducted prior to my artistic practice at the
School of Fine Arts in Marseille. My research work is driven by notions of identity and
heritage. Long before delving into the history and minority archives, my research focused on
my individual memory and the collective memory of my family, through the construction of a
set of intimate archives building personal narratives.
