Abstract
This article analyzes the relationship between lesbian activism and political art in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in the early 90s. It focuses on the Lesbians in Resistance group, which intervened from 1995 to 1997 in the most important public square — both because of its historical-symbolic and political meaning — in the city of Buenos Aires: the Plaza de Mayo. On the basis of the historical reconstruction of the group, through the oral memory of its members, and using a feminist and queer methodology, the essay attempts to map the central elements of the group's action: the body, the visibility and the construction of collective action using “non-durable or waste” materials. This research allowed us to highlight a little-known experience in local historiography, explore the ways lesbian militancy and artistic activism were linked during those years of neoliberal context, and create ways of recovering the LGBTTT collective memory that serve to conceive of the present.
