Darcy Penteado (1926–1987) was a renowned brazilian visual artist, set and costume designer, writer, as well as a pioneering activist for LGBT+ rights in Brazil. He came out as gay in 1976, upon turning 50. He wrote works of queer fiction and created homoerotic art in Brazil. He was a co-founder of Lampião da Esquina (1978), Brazil’s first gay newspaper, and created the country’s first HIV prevention poster (censored) in 1984. HIV-positive, he passed away at 61, leaving an immortal body of work.
