The article explores the performances and fashion shows by Perrota, a member of the Atelier Transmoras, as well as the film Bixa Travesty, the funk songs and the video clips by Linn da Quebrada. The objective is to analyze the ways in which fashion is configured in their productions as a strategy of resistance whose costumes, beauty technologies and body cosmetics hold dissident subjectivities and mobilize irreverent affects. While they recover archives and build insurrectionary communities, fashion stands as lodging, but, at the same time, as an occupation of degenerated bodies that attack sexual difference and devices such as the suit, that normalize and ensure the heterocentered regime. En el presente trabajo se ponen en diálogo las producciones contemporáneas de dos artistas y activistas travestis brasileñas: la cantante, compositora y actriz Linn da Quebrada, y Vicente Perrota, diseñadora de indumentaria, estilista y performer. Se exploran tanto las performances y desfiles a cargo de Perrota, integrante del Atelier Transmoras, como la película Bixa Travesty, las canciones de funk carioca y videoclips de Linn da Quebrada. El objetivo es analizar los modos en que la moda se configura en sus obras como estrategia de resistencia cuyos trajes, tecnologías de belleza y cosméticas corporales albergan subjetividades disidentes y movilizan afectos irreverentes. Mientras recuperan archivos y construyen comunidades insurrectas, la moda se erige como hospedaje, pero, a su vez, como ocupación de cuerpos desgenerados que atentan contra la diferencia sexual y contra los dispositivos como el traje que normalizan y aseguran el régimen heterocentrado.

In this work, the contemporary productions of two Brazilian transvestite artists and activists are put into dialogue: the singer, composer and actress Linn da Quebrada, and Vicente Perrota, clothing designer, stylist and performer. The article explores the performances and fashion shows by Perrota, a member of the Atelier Transmoras, as well as the film Bixa Travesty, the funk songs and the video clips by Linn da Quebrada. The objective is to analyze the ways in which fashion is configured in their productions as a strategy of resistance whose costumes, beauty technologies and body cosmetics hold dissident subjectivities and mobilize irreverent affects. While they recover archives and build insurrectionary communities, fashion stands as lodging, but, at the same time, as an occupation of degenerated bodies that attack sexual difference and devices such as the suit, that normalize and ensure the heterocentered regime. |
