En 2023, from CIRCA investigAcción we premiered our ethnographic documentary “Olga's Photos. Circus Memories.” It traces the lives of two generations of female circus artists Naty Morales, trapeze artist born in 1910 in Mexico, daughter of circus artists and Olga Poblete, acrobat and juggler, daughter of Naty and the Chilean clown Herminio, born in 1942 in Buenos Aires. From the photographs treasured in their family albums and the memories they awaken in Olga and her daughter Jorgelina, we approach some fragments of this circus life. In Argentina, the circus as art and as cultural heritage has been historically marginalized and dehierarchized from social studies, from the field of arts and from institutions dedicated to the protection of heritage. If it is a difficult task to access the stories of the Argentine circus, approaching the escaped stories of women proposes new complexities both due to the gender bias in the limited academic studies and due to the invisibilization of women in the circus field itself where mostly trajectories of men transcend. For this, I maintain the need for the feminist recovery exercise. Not simply to resort to mere visibility, but to carry out a critical review of the past that allows us to understand our present crossed by the fourth feminist wave. I am interested in focusing on the memories of Naty and Olga's experiences as artists and circus workers in Mexico between 1920-1930 and in Argentina between 1950-1960, understanding the circus not only as an art but as a way of life. Particularly, I am interested in understanding how they challenged socially constructed gender roles in their life, work and artistic aspects intermingled in the circus located in different socio-historical contexts.
