We argue that these pieces constitute materialities of dissent that center intimate domestic items as objects of political critique, conceptualizing artistic production and its associated material intimate practice in domestic spaces as crucial sites of meaning and politics in Latin America.

Considering Lucila Quieto’s Filiación (2013) and Doris Salcedo’s untitled sculpture (1992), we analyze how their artistic practices corrupt the intimate material of domestic life to display the fragments left after enforced disappearance, thereby confronting the stigma placed on grieving families.

We argue that the experiences of queer & trans refugees reveal the cracks in our contemporary migration management systems, as well as how things could be otherwise. The book, therefore, offers new conceptual tools for thinking of marginalized groups as central to our work.

The book follows an imagined journey through displacement (home, persecution, flight, assessment, containment, reunion, and sanctuary) to demonstrate the limits of our current approaches to displacement justice when we consider LGBTIQ displacement as a marginal issue.
