‘If, in fact, we barely have a lesbian history, do I exist?’

How does the lesbian body (self)represent itself in the urban space when it finally renounces its condition as an imaginary mental representation? What counter-narratives can emerge when we bring these representations into the light. Over the last year, Catarina Botelho has been researching (self)representations of lesbians on the street in the period from the transition to democracy to the late 1990s, when this identity, which had for a long time been rendered invisible, began to occupy and inscribe itself in the public space. With Mercè Otero, Bárbara Ramajo, Elena Castro and the audience, in this round table we will be thinking about how these photographs functioned in their day and about the new configurations of the visible and the thinkable that they can open up today.
