Abstract

This work focuses on the queer subject and the concept of the wandering biography of Rawi, an LGBTQIAPN+ artist from Santarém self-identified as a queer subject the construction of his identity as a subject and artist in Santarém, in the interior of the Amazon region of Pará and his performances in spaces aimed at public LBGTQIAPN+. The general aim of the research is to understand the construction of the Amazonian queer identity of the artist Rawi, analyzing the subjective and performative experiences in the city's queer scene. How peripheral identities are constructed in social contexts where male hegemony dominates creating meanings and distributing powers; Compose aesthetic elements of queer Amazonians and their strategies of autonomy and resistance in interior contexts; and the possibilities opened up by these subjects' performances have a positive impact on the construction of new identities for those who follow these artists' work. The perspective addressed in this process is based on the writings of queer theory, sexuality and identity. The methodologies used were open questionnaires, conversations, participant observation and ethnographic writing. The procedural organization for carrying out the research was the visual records produced by the author and from the artist's personal collection. Rawi's self-identity dialogues with the flow of waters and their symbolic dimension. His fluid identity “plays” with the elements of masculinity, turning it upside down. Subjectivity is expressed there and places Rawi on the floor of the condition of queer identity in modernity.
