This article explores the ways in which a series of artistic activism groups in the recent history of social protest in Argentina, including Mujeres Públicas, Fugitivas del Desierto and Serigrafistas Queer, linked to the feminist, lesbian and sex-dissident movements, occupied public space and social mobilizations through a set of visual devices and performative actions that can be thought of as forms of queer appropriation of childish imaginaries. Appealing to the critical resemantization of the hetero-reproductive economies inscribed both in the bodily choreographies of popular games and in the material life of the toys they used, these groups mobilized public images through naive affects such as cuteness, tenderness and joy to make visible, interrupt, and also divert the productive scripts of modern sex-politics and instituted notions of politics.

Este artículo explora los modos en que una serie de grupos de activismo artístico en la historia reciente de la protesta en Argentina, entre ellos Mujeres Públicas, Fugitivas del Desierto y Serigrafistas Queer, vinculados a los movimientos feministas, lésbicos y sexodisidentes, ocuparon el espacio público, y las movilizaciones sociales, a través de un conjunto de dispositivos visuales y acciones performáticas que pueden pensarse como formas de apropiación queer de los imaginarios infantiles. Apelando, entonces, a la resemantización crítica de las economías heteroreproductivas inscritas tanto en las coreografías corporales de los juegos populares como en la vida material de los juguetes que utilizaron, movilizaron imágenes públicas a través de afectos ingenuos como lo lindo, la ternura y la alegría para visibilizar, interrumpir y desviar los guiones productivos de la sexopolítica moderna y las nociones instituidas del acontecimiento político.
