Route Through Trans Barcelona

This encounter takes you on a walk through the history of transsexuality
in Barcelona. The director of the Historical Memory of the Gay-Lesbian Coordinator, Leopold Estapé, will guide us through some emblematic areas of the city to better understand the life of certain unique characters. The itinerary will review a wide range of trans identities throughout history, from how genre was identified on tombs in antiquity to the trans Sonia Rescalvo, who paid with her life. En route we will encounter the figure of Catalina de Erauso(the Nun Lieutenant) in the Barcelona of the sixteenth century, the Inquisition, Jean Genet, Ocaña and the transformism of the nightspots on the Avinguda Paral·lel.

The route acknowledges the celebrated while also paying homage to those anonymous bodies upon which, to this day, the history of the sexual and affective diversity of the city continues to be built.
