Carmen Jarrín on the joys and hazards of trans art and activism in Brazil

Carmen Jarrín (College of the Holy Cross) engages in a conversation about ethnographic research on trans and travesti creators and activists in Brazil's artivismo movement as they contend with violence and right-wing nationalism. Carmen connects this work to earlier investigations of plastic surgery, biopolitics, and relationships between gender, beauty, and national identity in Brazil.   To learn more about the Crossing Fronteras podcast, visit https://wp.wpi.edu/lacs/podc/ To learn more about the Latin American and Caribbean Studies program at WPI, visit https://www.wpi.edu/academics/departments/humanities-arts/latin-american-caribbean-studies
