SUMMARY:

The oppression and the violence to which the LGBTQIA+ community has been subjected over the years in Brazil are unquestionable evidence of the founding character that heterosexism and cis-heteronormativity assume in the construction of our society. The country has figured in the highest positions in the rankings of lgbtphobia, receiving the title of country that kills the most travestis and transsexuals in the world, according to data from the National Association of Travestis and Transsexuals (NATT). In spite of that, some impulses have been taken, aiming to trace escape routes from this reality and to escape from the lgbtphobic logic in which we are inserted. Linn da Quebrada, a Brazilian multimedia artist, has used her body – through her compositions, performances, speeches, etc. – as a stage for facing the threats that cis-heterosexism, masculinities and whiteness impose on dissident bodies. Therefore, I propose, from the perspective of a pajubariana ethics (FAVERO, 2020), a bibliographic cuirization and approximation routes between gender and cuir studies and the critical studies of utopia to analyze Linn da Quebrada’s works – Pajubá (2017); Bixa Travesty (2018) –, reflecting on the ways in which Linn’s body, her art and artivism allow us (or enjoin us) to dream new possibilities of being in the world.
