Abstract
Se entiende a las drags queens como hombres caracterizados en base a la figura
femenina para la realización de performances en un espacio y momento
establecido. En Lima Metropolitana, existen apropiaciones simbólicas de
elementos extranjeros y peruanos que las drags queens han utilizado para su
dragqueenismo: vestimentas, expresiones, baile y vocabulario. Esto ha dado lugar
a que algunos actores puedan ser reconocidos y visibilizados en medios de
comunicación masivos; mientras que otros artistas, solo pueden ser reconocidos
en espacios cerrados como museos, bares de “ambiente” y otros que impiden su
visibilidad en el espacio público.
Se reconoce que la performance de las drags queens se ha desplazado y es visibilizada
por más público; sin embargo, aún se observan obstáculos en el desarrollo y
entendimiento de arte que desafía la norma: censura y violencia.
Ante este contexto, se desarrolla una intervención gráfica efímera de un espacio público
llamado Glam que busca presentar el arte de las drags queens junto a dos aspectos
fundamentales para entender el quid y la importancia de este medio artístico:
símbolo de libertad de expresión y disciplina artística. Con ello, el proyecto busca
divulgar, junto a una gráfica inspirada en la estética glamurosa de las drags
queens, sobre el movimiento drag limeño y visibilizar la performance de los
artistas locales.
Drag queens are defined as men who are characterized based on the Western woman figure to perform in an established space and time. In the Lima Metropolitan Area, dragqueenismo has been built with the appropriation of specific symbols of foreign and Peruvian elements that drag queens have used: clothing, expressions, dance, and vocabulary. This action has given rise to some actors being recognized and visible in the mass media and even by the conservative spheres of Lima; however, other artists can only be recognized in closed spaces such as museums, queer bars, and other places that prevent their visibility in the mass public spectrum. There is a displacement of the performance of drag queens from closed places to public ones; however, acts of censure or violence block the opportunity to understand this art. Given this context, the project Glam develops a brief graphic intervention of public space to present the art of drag queens that presents two fundamental aspects to understand the reason and the importance of this artistic medium: symbol of freedom of expression and artistic discipline. This project seeks to divulge and make visible the Lima drag movement along with a graphic inspired by the glamorous aesthetics of drag queens.
