| description | Throughout human history, taboos and prejudices have existed, along with scientific attacks against transgender and transvestite people. Today, this important discussion continues, aiming to raise awareness and demand their human rights. In this work, I will share some reflections on the photographic work of Susana Casarin, who has brought visibility to transgender people in her series Realities and Desires (2012), Muxes and Apsaras (2020), which have been exhibited in national and international museums. Furthermore, one of her series, Muxes, inspired a very interesting short documentary by screenwriter and director Javier Solórzano Casarin. Photography, as an art discipline, has played a relevant role in this sense and is a support for showing these people in their essence. |

Today, this important discussion continues, aiming to raise awareness and demand their human rights. In this work, I will share some reflections on the photographic work of Susana Casarin, who has brought visibility to transgender people in her series Realities and Desires (2012), Muxes and Apsaras (2020), which have been exhibited in national and international museums. Furthermore, one of her series, Muxes, inspired a very interesting short documentary by screenwriter and director Javier Solórzano Casarin. Photography, as an art discipline, has played a relevant role in this sense and is a support for showing these people in their essence. A lo largo de la historia de la humanidad han existido tabúes y prejuicios hacia las personas transgénero y travestis, sin perder de vista los embates científicos. Hoy en día sigue en pie la discusión para visibilizar y exigir sus derechos humanos. En este trabajo se compartirán algunas reflexiones sobre la obra fotográfica de Susana Casarin, quien ha dado visibilidad a las personas transgénero en sus series Realidades y deseos (2012) y Muxes y apsaras (2020), las cuales han sido exhibidas en museos nacionales e internacionales. Asimismo, su serie Muxes inspiró la realización de un cortometraje documental por el guionista y director Javier Solórzano Casarin. La fotografía, como disciplina del arte, ha desempeñado en este sentido un papel relevante y es un apoyo para mostrar a estas personas en su esencia.
