About us<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tortiteca was born in Rosario, Argentina,<\/strong> in 2021, in the hands of two friends eager to learn everything they could about lesbian cultures <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, lovers, friends and activists have joined forces to make this project a reality on both sides of the R\u00edo Paran\u00e1 rosarino<\/strong> y el mar Mediterraneo en Barcelona. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The word Tortiteca is a fusion of the words tortillera (lesbian) and biblioteca (library). <\/strong>
tortillera tortillera<\/em> In Argentina, tortillera is one of the possible ways to refer to a lesbian, which has historically been used as an insult but, like many other terms in the history of dissent, has been proudly reappropriated by lesbian communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are currently a non-profit association<\/strong>made up of migrant lesbian* activists<\/strong> who seek to network through the dissemination and appreciation of lesbian cultural assets. 

We understand lesbian* as a permeable category that welcomes those who wish to inhabit it lovingly.<\/strong> This project, made with hearts and hunches, is open and eager for your proposals, so please do not hesitate to write to us.
