| Resumo: | The objective of this study is to reflect on the expressions of transvestite subjectivity refracted by artistic creation, taking as reference the work of the artist Linn da Quebrada to articulate transvestitability, territoriality and sex work. The corpus of analysis consists of musical narratives extracted from the discography of the composer, who explores the reverberations of transvestite subjectivity in the confrontation with work on the streets and sidewalks in search of survival. These experiences are metaphorized in the composer’s musical production in dry and cutting verses, sculpted with a razor. In sharp poetry, sex work is subjectivized not only as a means of subsistence, but resistance, albeit an (re)existence circumscribed by marginal territoriality. There is certainly suffering, but also joy in exercising the freedom to transit through the alleys of genres. In the musical composition of Linn da Quebrada, art is taken to problematize the practices and knowledge that emanate from trans and transvestite bodies, by describing their social experiences through the vertex of their identities in non-conformity with gender norms, with the compass of artivism that blurs the boundaries between art and life. |
