Synopsis

In the writing of History, the interests, actions and rights of a minority group in a society are relegated to the background or even to the skeleton. This is more of a field of power dispute, in which the groups that hold hegemony impose their visions of the world and, consequently, normalize their conceptions and preconceptions.
To know a city, we must understand it in its fullness. And to understand the cultural construction of Sobral, it is necessary to identify each of its expressions.
The materiality, like the historical construction of a city like Sobral-CE, occurs collectively, with the contribution of each group that prints its traces, that lives in its own way.
In the case of the LGBTQIA+ community, whose cultural expressions are studied in this work, more than a mere record, but a way to mark positions and empower voices.
