Biography
[edit | edit source]Marlene Wayar is the general coordinator of Futuro Transgenerico - an organization with which she was part of the National Front for the Gender Identity Law[2] – and co-founder of the Silvia Rivera Trans Network of Latin America and the Caribbean.
She is the director of El Teje, the first travesti newspaper in Latin America,[3] developed from a workshop held at the Ricardo Rojas Cultural Center.[4]
She studied Social Psychology at the Instituto Universitario de Madres de Plaza de Mayo.
She is one of the founders of the Nadia Echazú Textile Cooperative,[5] a workshop-school named in honor of the trans rights activist. The project was inaugurated in mid 2008, in a location donated by the National Institute of Associations and Social Economy (INAES).
Wayar was host of the series Género identidad. La diversidad en el cine (Gender Identity: Diversity in the Cinema), broadcast by Encuentro in 2011.[6][7]
Awards and distinctions
[edit | edit source]A few weeks into the Trans Literacy Center's second year, the Popular Library of Gender, Sexual Affective Diversity, and Human Rights of the Argentine province of Tucumán (CRISÁLIDA) reported that, as a result of a poll, alumni and participants proposed adding "Marlene Wayar" to the center's name. This was accepted unanimously by the organization's Directive Commission and announced to the Network of Women of Tucumán (co-participants of the project).[8]
In September 2011, Wayar received the Lola Mora Award from the Buenos Aires City Legislature for the publication El Teje.[9][10]
