Go Girls! Convened and curated by the Go Girls! Comics Festival, the Lesbian Identities exhibition serves as a prelude to this specialized comics event, which will hold its second edition three days later, on Saturday, March 10. This renewed interest in comics, reflected in the increasing variety of fairs, publications, and events that celebrate it as a medium—and the scarcity of visible female authors and LGBT content published in contrast—made it necessary to approach comic production from a gender perspective. Therefore, the Go Girls! Festival was created as a way to bring together and showcase female artists working in this field and to promote content that reflects sexual diversity. Part of their activities includes book fairs, talks, workshops, and presentations by cis and trans comic book artists as a way to showcase their work and create spaces for communication among them: “The 'Lesbian Identities in Comics' exhibition arose, just like the festival itself, from the need to create our own space. That space had to be intrinsically LGBTQ+, a lesbian space, and it had to function as a gateway to inclusion, activism, diversity, and destigmatization,” the organizing collective explains. On the 10th, at the festival, in addition to the exhibition and a fair featuring 60 artists, attendees can listen to talks on independent publishing and self-management experiences both within and outside of Argentina, as well as the launch of a new publication featuring 12 comic book artists and a live performance by the collective Chicks on Comics (Power Paola, Delius, Clara Lagos, Caro Chinaski) about legal, safe, and free abortion.
