Movimiento Maricas Bolivia is a community-based 2SLGBTQ+ organization made up of people who self-identify as Indian-Indigenous-cholas (Aymara and Quechua) as well as maricas-machorras-travas. It was founded on May 17, 2010 in the radio program "Soy Marica y Qué," which ran from 2010- 2015 and was broadcast on Radio Deseo 103.3 FM in La Paz. It later ran in El Alto as "Nación Marica" (2016-2020), broadcast by Radio Líder 97 FM. Since 2022, Movimiento Maricas Bolivia has produced the audiovisual program, "Nación Marica Callejera: Disidente, Feminista e Indígena," which takes 2SLGBTQ+ guests into public spaces in La Paz and El Alto to reflect on social, political, gender, and Indigenous issues of the country.
The program generates a social and community movement of Indian-Indigenous-Cholo self-identification that transverses the 2SLGBTQ+ struggle at a regional level to recover the ancestry and plurality of sexualities and genders in pre-Hispanic cultures of South America. It also brings the issue of racism into the discussion with 2SLGBTQ+ activists to highlight the neocolonial practices imposed by the global north through an LGBTQ culture that generally aspires to hegemonic whiteness. The program aims to destabilize the hegemonic practices of heteropatriarchy.
