LGBTQ+ populations worldwide have struggled for a long time to create original pathways to resist prejudice and attain self-expression. Cities provide opportunities for getting together in spaces where a community/social network can be developed due to their more tolerant, diverse and open milieus (Doderer, 2011). This project addresses a major cultural event in the urban life of Rio de Janeiro which despite its global visibility has received little scholarly attention in relation to the city's intersectional LGBTQ+ communities and their ability to appropriate otherwise hostile urban geographies in one of the countries with the highest rates of homo- and trans-phobic violence. Carnival, as Gontijo (2009) points out, is the foremost ritual of within Brazilian culture and promotes 'unusually' positive social attitudes towards queer bodies. During the celebrationperiod in Brazil, an utopic climate is instated celebrating the absence of hierarchy, power, money and physical effort. Musicality, dance and multiple art forms seek to equalise all subjects and create a social bond. This is defined as a moment of 'freedom' when people have the opportunity to go about their lives 'in reverse' (DaMatta, 1986). Therefore, the overarching focus of this research is to investigate the role of LGBTQ+ carnival street movements (blocos) in shaping Rio's queer urban geography beyond the most spectacular and tourist-oriented events. The project will contribute to understanding everyday queerness through iconic performances and year-round practices of organising and preparation

世界各地的LGBTQ+人群长期以来一直在努力创造原创的途径来抵制偏见并实现自我表达。城市提供了聚集在一起的机会，由于其更宽容，多样和开放的环境，可以发展社区/社会网络（Doderer，2011）。该项目解决了里约热内卢城市生活中的一个重大文化事件，尽管其全球知名度在城市的交叉LGBTQ+社区及其在同性恋和跨性别暴力发生率最高的国家之一中适当的敌对城市地理的能力方面几乎没有受到学术关注。正如Gontijo（2009）指出的那样，狂欢节是巴西文化中最重要的仪式，并促进了对酷儿身体的“异常”积极的社会态度。在巴西的庆祝期间，一种乌托邦式的气氛被建立起来，庆祝没有等级制度、权力、金钱和体力劳动。音乐性、舞蹈和多种艺术形式寻求平衡所有学科，并创造一种社会纽带。这被定义为一个“自由”的时刻，当人们有机会去他们的生活"相反“（达马塔，1986年）。因此，本研究的首要重点是调查LGBTQ+狂欢节街头运动（blocos）在塑造里约酷儿城市地理中的作用，超越了最壮观和以旅游为导向的活动。该项目将通过标志性的表演和全年的组织和准备实践，
