Archivo de la Memoria Trans

Archivo de la Memoria Trans (Argentina) will use the grant to expand its archive of the history of Trans people in Latin America by digitizing, preserving, researching, and disseminating their work with educational programs that cultivate inclusion.

The Archivo de la Memoria Trans is an organization dedicated to preserve, amplify and dignify the history of the trans community in Argentina and Latin America. Since its creation, it has focused on compiling testimonies, documents, photographs and other materials that relate the lives and struggles of trans people, with the aim of building a collective memory that allows us to understand the past, and to value their contributions to society. The Archive has developed a practice that combines historical research with artistic expression, transforming the archives into powerful tools for denunciation, education and empowerment. It includes exhibitions, publications, performances and collaborations with visual artists, writers and filmmakers. Recent exhibitions include: Choreographies of the Impossible, São Paulo Biennial; Our Codes, Leslie Lohman Museum, NY; Our History, Museo del Bicentenario, Buenos Aires. It has developed an online platform that allows users to explore the archive, access educational resources and participate in virtual activities. It has also promoted educational projects aimed at schools, universities and communities, including workshops, conferences and seminars. The Archive contributes significantly to the visibility and dignity of the trans community, promoting a more just and inclusive society.
