The documentary Lampião da Esquina, directed by Lecturer Livia Perez, is being screened as part of the Reverberations exhibition through May 3, 2025 at the Ford Foundation Gallery in New York. The film explores the history and impact of Lampião da Esquina, Brazil’s first openly LGBTQ+ newspaper, which challenged the country’s military dictatorship in the late 1970s. Through rare archival footage and interviews, the documentary highlights the paper’s role in shaping queer resistance and media activism.
