This research paper explores the use of performance as an activist tool to reclaim lesbian visibility and politicized spaces. The research starts from the premise that, at present, there is a lack of lesbian gathering and activist spaces that are outside of mainstream, often highly sexualized, party codes. As LGBTQ+ movements have expanded, and despite the advent of transfeminist politics in the Spanish state, the lesbofeminist struggle has been diluted within a more general activism, ceasing to have a recognized space. The traditional lesbian spaces have been questioned from within and outside the movement, mainstreaming the struggle to other demands. This situation has led to a loss of visibility and a decrease in spaces where lesbians can organize, share specific experiences and fight for their rights. In response to this situation, the research proposes performance as a strategy to recover these spaces and enrich the legacy of the lesbofeminist struggle. Performance, understood as an act of both artistic and political expression, allows reclaiming spaces in the public sphere in a collective, public and present way. Through case studies of performances in politicized environments and interviews with activists, artists and close circles, the study delves into the potential of these practices to serve as catalysts in the recovery of certain political codes, the physical and everyday presence of reality and lesbian activism as well as its visibility, which has become more complex over the years. In addition, the intersections between art and activism are analyzed in an interdisciplinary way and from diverse methodologies, considering how performances can challenge dominant narratives and offer new forms of understanding, resistance and voice to marginalized collectives by providing safe and communal spaces where a radical and transformative politics can be built among all and for all.
