Resumen
CROIZET, Florencia. Queer Evitas, out in the streets of Buenos Aires. Índex [online]. 2019, n.8, pp.134-141. ISSN 2477-9199. https://doi.org/10.26807/cav.v0i08.268.
Eva Perón (1952-1919) a world-wide known Argentinean politician, has become a queer icon. From that symbolic resignificance, many artists have produced works about her, commonly relegated to the underground culture. However, in 2019, Evita’s birthday centenary, different collective performances took place in the streets of Buenos Aires; where Peronists, feminists and sexual minorities activists paid tribute and expressed their support to the Peronist candidates who ran for the national elections last October. Therefore, the aim of the present article is to explore the social and artistic process in which Evita’s queer performances started to abandon the cultural edges to appear in Buenos Aires downtown in full daylight.
