Research explores the ballroom carioca scene's role in fostering urban inclusivity amid political polarization.
We sought to analyze the implications of the process of popularization of the Ballroom carioca scene, which began in the second half of the 10s of the 21st century and which has gained more visibility recently in public and hybrid spaces in the city, as being part of a trans movement, which contributes to the construction of a more inclusive and democratic city, even in an adverse context characterized by the expansion of political polarization and misinformation. With the objective of rethinking the relevance of this cultural scene off in the city of Rio de Janeiro, a cartography of sonic-musical controversies was constructed, which involved research in carrying out a bibliographical review and analysis of journalistic material, field observations, interviews and informal conversations, following the tracks of human and non-human actors, as well as tracking their urban tactics and cunning.
