Living Archives of Tijuana’s LGBT Community

15 min · Documentary

Set during the 30th LGBTTTIQ+ Pride March in Tijuana, this short documentary presents a queer archivist whose career as a journalist has documented key moments in the region’s queer history, alongside an activist who uses drag performance and outspoken advocacy to challenge the stigma surrounding people living with HIV. Through archival imagery and alternative spaces like Enclave Caracol, located in the city’s historic downtown, the film reflects on memory, erasure, and the urgent need to tell our own stories.
