We decided to make a physical fibers piece focusing on our journeys to queer radical self love and acceptance. In our discussions this semester, we repeatedly returned to the ideas of self acceptance and queer joy and the journeys we have gone through as individuals and as a part of the wider tapestry that is the LGBTQ+ community. This piece aims to be a culmination and intersections of those ideas, our journeys personal and as part of a whole weaved together into one piece. While this piece is not technically a quilt, it takes inspiration from the rich history of quilt making in LGBTQIA+ activism.
Artists: Isabel, Lonnie, Pam, Sage, and Yoav
