Queer Archive Work Collaborative Riso-Printed Zine

During the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic many people resorted to various online platforms and communities. I was living in a small town of 900 people and did not have much of a community, much less a supportive queer community. 

Paul Soulellis began Queer.Archive.Work and initiated zoom calls with other queer people on the internet. Many participated in the zoom calls throughout 2020 – 2021 and really was a unique bonding experience.

We decided that we would like to produce a collaborative zine and have it available at the Printed Matter Virtual Art Book Fair in NYC. So, throughout the course of around 2-3 months we would do workshops and collaboratively design this project.

I hosted 2 Workshops as my drag persona and would participate in other people workshops as my drag persona as well.

This was truly a unique experience and I feel was very important to me as a small town queer person who often feels like a total outcast and misunderstood.
