Resumen
Dragging the closet in Bogotá: counter-stories and writings drag is the result of a research-creation of two years of work with drag and female impersonators collectivities in the framework of the three editions of the event “The night and the fireflies”, which is organised by the Master in Artistic Studies of the Faculty of Arts ASAB. This academic document is a drag and female impersonators walk that takes distance from the diachronic stories of the fights and resistance of LGBTI communities for their rights. Without ignoring the importance of this History, the concept of counter-stories is proposed with the purpose of finding fissures that reveal omissions or silences not perceived from a drag look. So, with the drag counter-stories I use the concepts of heterotopia and writing to analyze other spaces and, in this way, reveal how drag subjectivities have been constructed in Bogotá from 1980 to 2019. In addition, the way in which they create relationships of affection and solidarity through the formation of drag families as an answer to the discrimination and violence to which they are exposed and which subverts the traditional family model in Colombia.
