    This study explores how participation in marching bands in Medellín contributes to emotional well-being, the creation of safe spaces, and the development of support networks among individuals who identify —and do not identify— as part of the LGBTIQ+ community. Using a qualitative, phenomenological perspective, semi-structured interviews were conducted with members of a local marching band to understand their lived experiences, the meanings they ascribe to participation, and the relational dynamics that emerge within this artistic setting. Findings reveal that marching bands function as spaces of self-affirmation, emotional containment, and personal growth, where art becomes a means of resistance, identity expression, and collective well-being. Nevertheless, internal tensions linked to self-demand and competition also arise, which, rather than negating the band’s protective nature, make it more complex. Overall, the results broaden the understanding of safe spaces and support networks from a dynamic perspective, in which security and well-being emerge not from the absence of conflict, but from the ability to inhabit and transform it within community.
