Josué Marcos Belmonte, "Ioshua" (1977-2015) was a writer, illustrator, editor, documentary maker, blogger, disc jockey, and sexual minorities activist. All his works could be read as a marginal (and, even more, marginalizing) artistic project, because they are not just created in the borders of society, but also they oppose and resist its norms. In this presentation, I will try to show how Ioshua's poetry can be seen as a map of urban marginality which the speaker travels around in order to "recover" (by giving them a place, a possibility and visibility) those characters made invisible by society beyond an ethnographic perspective.
