Who's who in raising awareness about sexual diversity and gender equality through artistic interventions in university contexts

Abstract

This communication shows the artistic research carried out within the R + D + I project 'Awareness in gender equality and sexual diversity through artistic interventions in university contexts', funded by the Department of Innovation, Universities, Science and Digital Society (Reference: GV / 2020/069) of the Generalitat Valenciana (Spain), whose main researcher is María Amparo Alonso Sanz, of the University of Valencia.

Within this project, the proposed proposal is the action entitled "Who is who in equality and diversity" that appropriates the strategies of the well-known homonymous game (also known as "Guess who"), to introduce characters of relevant importance in the field of equality and diversity, both gender, identity and sexuality. The results obtained show us the importance of this type of actions and interventions applied in the university context, highlighting the need for an inclusive language as well as the importance of making visible and highlighting this set of key figures in queer culture.
