Arte-Fato Penumbra: Zine como registro de fabulações trans

Abstract

This technical report presents the process of creating the zine "Arte-fato Penumbra: Zine as a Record of Trans Fabulations." The zine aims to communicate and share, using photography, illustration, collage, and other visual languages, as well as supporting texts that present the penumbra as a possibility for the gestation of new hidden worlds, drawing parallels with the (in)visibility of the trans community. The product also seeks to give visibility to other worldviews that are not cisgender, Eurocentric, white, and colonial, as well as to present new stories that speak of trans prosperity. To this end, in-depth interviews were conducted with four trans multi-artists residing in Fortaleza, Ceará, to gather their accounts of their life stories and trans invisibility. Participant observation was also conducted in the city's artistic and cultural spaces to experience the scene where trans multi-artists circulate.
