SUMMARY:

This paper seeks to analyze the stigmatization and social invisibility that permeate the life and death of Chiquinha do Pedregal, a black travesti from the inland municipality of Aracati-CE. Drawing on memory, life trajectories, and embodied experiences, I attempt to investigate within this ethnography the ways in which movements of invisibility and fear were constructed. The research highlights the absence of records, narratives, and representations about Chiquinha, but also about her humanity. Interviews, journeys, and bibliographic and documentary surveys were conducted for the construction and discussion of these writings. By re-inscribing her existence in the academic space, there is an expansion of the anthropological debate on rural “transvestilidade”, race, and “travesti” memories, producing narratives beyond the stigmas that have historically been attributed to her.
