Casa de Acolhimento Danilo Cezar de Jesus Santos: Território e Cultura LGBTQIAPN+ Como Ferramenta da Valorização da História e Vida da Comunidade

Abstract

This paper investigates the intersection between territory and culture, with focus on the LGBTQIAPN+ community in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul. Its aim is to understand the appropriation and re-signification of urban spaces by the community, transforming them into instruments for affirming identity and claiming social rights. It highlights the importance of cultural territoriality in building collective identities and promoting a sense of belonging to a group. The research covers a historical and contemporary analysis of the political and social dynamics of this community, analyzed through data collection and interviews with members and supporters of the group, as well as a mapping of the spaces they occupy. Based on this data, the work culminates in an architectural restoration project to create a shelter for the LGBTQIAPN+ community in Campo Grande, MS. The project will contribute to valuing the history and life of the group, offering a safe and inclusive space where its members can find support, develop culturally and affirm their identities in a full and dignified way, promoting inclusion, recognition and celebration of diversity.
