Those of us who converged in the formation of Alerta Torta came together around the need to enunciate lesbian voices in a Cordoba that was too hostile to us. voices in a Cordoba that seems too hostile to us, with the aim of making lesbian voices more and more to make the specific demands of lesbian identities more and more audible. The construction of Alerta is the result of a nomadic itinerary, a note that cuts across many of the political political trajectories of many of us, in the search, precisely, for a space of our own. space of our own.

The following pages are intended to be an approximation to these debates and discussions in a narrative approached from the first person plural, from our situated subjectivities and practices. situated and localised subjectivities and practices.
