Join us for\nTinkuy: Queer Memories of Peru\, **a photography exhibition exploring themes of\nPeruvian history\, collective memory\, and community. ** Some stories survive at\nthe margins of memory. Tinkuy: Queer Memories of Peru proposes a journey through\nthe history of sexual and gender dissi dence in Peru. Through a photographic\nexhibition rooted in artistic resea rch\, José Miguel Dávila Salas brings\nfragments of the past into dialog ue with the bodies and experiences of\ncontemporary LGBTQ+ activists. The exhibition brings together six stories\nspanning different moments in Peru vian history: from the pre-Columbian Andean\nfigure of Chuquichinchay and dissident masculinities in colonial Lima to early\nforms of travesti polit ical organising and the violence experienced by LGBTQ+\npeople during Peru ’s internal armed conflict. Their traces remain scattered\nacross chroni cles\, judicial records\, newspapers\, images and popular\nnarratives—do cuments that also reveal how dissident bodies have been observed\,\nnamed\ , disciplined and\, in many cases\, erased from collective memory. The\nph otographs were created in Arequipa in collaboration with contemporary LGBT Q+\nactivists\, artists and community members who embody these memories. T heir\npresence creates a dialogue between those who inhabited other moment s in history\nand those who continue to build spaces of resistance\, commu nity and belonging\ntoday. The name Tinkuy comes from an Andean concept as sociated with encounter\nand confluence. It can describe the place where t wo currents meet and the forces\nthat emerge from that contact: tension\, exchange\, mediation and transformation.\nThis idea runs throughout the ex hibition. Counter-archive\, memory and the\npresent converge in the images \, allowing fragmented stories to circulate again.\nTinkuy proposes a frag mented genealogy of Peruvian dissidence and reflects on\nthe images throug h which identities and collective memories are shaped. From a\nsituated an d decolonial perspective\, the project brings forward references\nrooted i n Peruvian histories and territories\, opening a space where queer\,\ntran s\, travesti and gender-diverse experiences can recognise themselves as pa rt\nof a shared Peruvian memory. The exhibition is accompanied by an artis t talk and\nparticipatory workshop\, extending these questions into a coll ective space and\ninviting participants to explore their own relationships with memory\, identity\nand belonging\, as well as the ways queer communi ties remember\, transmit and\nreimagine the stories that shape them. **Abo ut the artist** José Miguel Dávila\nSalas (he/she/they) is a Peruvian ar tist-researcher\, social psychologist and\nLGBTQ+ activist whose practice moves between artistic creation\, research and\ncommunity work.
