Un año después de los Juegos Olímpicos de Pekín, el documental "NNew Beijing, New Marriage", de los directores Fan Popo y David Zheng, registra la actuación de dos parejas homosexuales —las novias Dana y Buxiu y los novios Haibei y Zhangyi— que posaron para fotos, ataviadas con trajes de novia, en plena calle Qianmen. A partir de esta acción, analizo el contexto sociopolítico de la población LGBT+ en la China contemporánea, explorando las especificidades de esta experiencia en diálogo y contraste con las narrativas occidentales hegemónicas. El análisis también se articula en el contexto de la aceleración constructiva que redefinió el tejido urbano del país en el nuevo milenio. Para ello, recurro a revisiones bibliográficas que examinan el arte, la identidad y la ciudad, retrocediendo al pasado para comprender la China globalizada actual. El artículo explora así la dinámica del surgimiento de nuevos paisajes e identidades, considerando la creciente relevancia del país en el escenario mundial.
