Treading on Your Flowers

Overview

Danys, Paola, and Yenny discuss the systemic violence they and their trans "sisters" suffer daily on the streets and in their inner circles in Medellín. Their exchanges are rooted in present-day Colombian society, but they are nonetheless indicative of the situation of trans women in most countries worldwide. In response to this discrimination, each proposes a gesture, or an action. Danys delivers an intimate poem; Yenny proudly dominates the city; Paola links sex work and hairdressing with pride and ambition.
