00:00Because if one is homosexual, the tenants hit one, put the revolver in the face,
00:06they say that we don't have the right to live, they say that as he is a tenant,
00:11he leaves one in the station.
00:12This testimony is added to the more than 200 stories that reconstructed how the people LGBTQ
00:17more lived in almost a century persecution for the prohibition of homosexuality in Colombia.
00:22It is the exhibition Cuerpos Archivados, which recoge the transcriptions of interviews
00:27made by the police to different people accused of sodomy, or acts sexuales pecaminosos,
00:33which was the way in which they refer to the sex between men,
00:35because between 1890 and 1981 there was no distinction between crime and crime,
00:41and people could go to the prison for their sexual orientation or gender identity.
00:46All you can read the testimonials installed between human silhouettes
00:49hechas in concrete that relatan the answers and explanations that gave the people LGBTQ
00:54when they were detained by the police.
00:56Silhouettes that remind them that behind each archive,
00:59number of expedients, there was a person persecuted by LGBTQ+.
01:03Through these records, they reconstructed a story of almost a century of persecution,
01:07from 1890 when the homosexuality was prohibited in the country,
01:11to 1980 when it was penalized, even persecutions that occurred after these days.
01:17It is clear that in the archives there are only testimonials of gay men and trans men,
01:22there are no registros of lesbian women, not because they don't exist, but because this shows how the
01:27state decided which sexual orientations should be persecuted and criminalized.
01:31It is probable that women lesbian women were seen as a danger because they were reprimed by other ways,
01:37the home, the school, the church, or by medical diagnostics.
01:40But the exhibition, not only talks about persecution,
01:43it also tells stories of hope and resistance,
01:46of how the first political organizations were formed in places relatively safe to exigir rights.
01:53From there, for example, the first Marcha del Orgullo in Bogotá.
01:56Amics, if you are interested in these topics, you can visit the exhibition in the Archive of Bogotá.
02:01It will be open to the public and with entry free until April of 2026.
02:04In the past, please.
02:04At the time, please.
