The story they never told you about one of the most important people in Argentina of LGBTIQ+ activism. The life of Claudia Pía Baudracco, La Gorda, was a whirlwind of impulses that spilled seeds in dozens of activisms: repeal of police edicts, gender identity, access to comprehensive health, cannabis culture, and human rights were some of the issues that obsessed her.
After finding out about the activist movement in Europe, in 1993 she founded, together with María Belén Correa, the Association of Transvestites, Transsexuals, and Transgenders of Argentina, the first T space that achieved representation throughout the country. Claudia Pia also lived the vicissitudes of a community that for many years was left out of "official history", having the Police section as the only possible destination.
"Si te viera tu madre" proposes an intimate way of remembering her, rescuing testimonies, investigating her boxes of memories, photos, postcards, letters, and dialoguing with the veiled archives of an era.
