In the face of the coronavirus pandemic and isolation, many have decided to share their art on social media as a way to offer support. Puntos Suspensivo Publishing created a publication featuring texts by LGBTQ+ artists called “QUEERENTENA: Elusive Writings for the Liberation of Bodies in Quarantine.”

While the streets empty out in compliance with measures to prevent the spread of the virus, artistic productions are flourishing on social media. Puntos Suspensivos is a self-managed publishing house run by two trans men: Ese Montenegro and Gaita Nihil. For the past four years, they have published the work of members of the LGBTQ+ community, and more recently, especially trans, travesti, and non-binary people.

“We are activists, not only because we are trans, but because we embrace the experience that comes with being trans, and we also see art (in all its forms) as an expression of our political struggles. That's why we make the books we want/need to exist. Because we inhabit new ways of inhabiting art and politics. Because we build and weave with friends and comrades, where the logics of heteronormativity/capitalism/patriarchy/colonialism try to annihilate us, we make worlds… Other worlds, where existing is more than resisting, where struggle and dream are inscribed in a single possible mark,” says Los Puntos Suspensivos in the prologue.

“Queerentena” is available online for free and can be downloaded. Compiles 26 poets, writers and illustrators: Euge Murillo, Sofía Vaisman Maturana, Lara Tufaro, Nicolás Samuel Illuminati, Michelle Lacroix, Neu, gaita nihil, Nadia Sol Caramella, Dafne Pidemunt, Gabriela Borrelli Azara, Moyi Schwartzer, Alejandro Jedrzejewski, Clau Bidegain, Leticia Hernando, Rosa Rodríguez Cantero, Russia, Camila Sosa Villada, Julián Chacón, Vir Cano, Celina Eibuszyc, Chana Mamani, Lin Pao, Lucas “Fauno” Gutiérrez Morena García, Ese “el Negro” Montenegro, Juan Duncan and Femimutancia.
