Tinkuy: Queer Memories of Pe ru proposes a journey through the history of sexual and gender dissidence in Peru. Through a photographic exhibition rooted in artistic research\\ , José Miguel Dávila Salas brings fragments of the past into dialogue w ith the bodies and experiences of contemporary LGBTQ+ activists.\\nThe ex hibition brings together six stories spanning different moments in Peruvi an history: from the pre-Columbian Andean figure of Chuquichinchay and di ssident masculinities in colonial Lima to early forms of travesti politic al organising and the violence experienced by LGBTQ+ people during Peru†™s internal armed conflict. Their traces remain scattered across chronicl es\\, judicial records\\, newspapers\\, images and popular narratives—d ocuments that also reveal how dissident bodies have been observed\\, name d\\, disciplined and\\, in many cases\\, erased from collective memory.\\ nThe photographs were created in Arequipa in collaboration with contempor ary LGBTQ+ activists\\, artists and community members who embody these me mories. Their presence creates a dialogue between those who inhabited oth er moments in history and those who continue to build spaces of resistanc e\\, community and belonging today.\\nThe name Tinkuy comes from an Andea n concept associated with encounter and confluence. It can describe the p lace where two currents meet and the forces that emerge from that contact : tension\\, exchange\\, mediation and transformation. This idea runs thr oughout the exhibition. Counter-archive\\, memory and the present converg e in the images\\, allowing fragmented stories to circulate again.\\nTink uy proposes a fragmented genealogy of Peruvian dissidence and reflects on the images through which identities and collective memories are shaped. From a situated and decolonial perspective\\, the project brings forward references rooted in Peruvian histories and territories\\, opening a spac e where queer\\, trans\\, travesti and gender-diverse experiences can rec ognise themselves as part of a shared Peruvian memory.\\nThe exhibition i s accompanied by an artist talk and participatory workshop\\, extending t hese questions into a collective space and inviting participants to explo re their own relationships with memory\\, identity and belonging\\, as we ll as the ways queer communities remember\\, transmit and reimagine the s tories that shape them.\\nAbout the artist\\nJosé Miguel Dávila Salas ( he/she/they) is a Peruvian artist-researcher\\, social psychologist and L GBTQ+ activist whose practice moves between artistic creation\\, research and community work.\\nHis work explores queer memory\\, collective ident ity\\, archives and the ways gender and sexual dissidence challenge domin ant narratives of history and belonging.
