A live talk between Frau Diamanda and Pêdra Costa serves as a performative event is bringing forth a radical reimagining of sexual history, pleasure, power, and the processes of racialization within Europe. Shedding light on what constitutes sexual dissidence and the significance of the travesti identity, as well as anti-canonical knowledge and strategies from various countries in Latin America, is central to this event. Latin America's differing societal and political landscapes highlight the importance of understanding and addressing travesti experiences. This event also touches upon the history of colonialism by white imperial Europe and its contemporary manifestations.
