Trans Argentina archive started as a closed Facebook group where friends of the 1980s and 1990s could reconnect. It was successful and the digital space was soon filled with anecdotes, letters and chronicles. Then, photographer CC Estalles “proposed to expand it beyond the story,” said Nastri.
Exhibit was the Big Lip Forward This one on the left, this one was killed, this died (This left, they killed him, he died), Features intimate portraits of friends in prison, deportation or otherwise absent. Soon, the Archive team began to dream of creating a bigger presence.
Today, Nastri works with the managers of the archive, who are generally an adult witness to the history of community, as they archive, store and digitize the documents. For them, it is an act of resistance to work. In Argentina, 9,000 people (as 2021) modified their national identity documents to reflect their gender identity. People between the ages of 40 and 79 are over the age of 60 who are responsible for only 4 percent of this figure for only 17 percent.
Argentina’s Trans Memory archive has more than 100 documentary collections with 25,000 items in the early 1930s to 2000s: photos, films, audio recordings, letters, broshore, posters, press release, police files, magazines articles, identity documents and personal diary.

The documentary archive that the PIA has created now lives alongside 40 similar archives in Latin America.
At the end of June, in the winter of Argentina, Hernandez told me in a video call that future generations must know about the suppression they had. During his generation he survived the torture and harassment from the police DictatorshipThe Apart from this archive, Nastri believes that not only will an important part of history be lost, but the joy of many moments will also be forgotten. “Something in this community is a powerful family bond,” he explains. “They have a tragic history but it is shared in a very pleasant way.”
