The Queer Canon
Historically, works considered to be entered into a collection of significant and timeless pieces of art has been decided by white, older men. Ellie decided to queer this and ask QC members to decide their own pieces of work in a queer’d canon.
This asked the question; As a queer person/ally, what and who do you think should be included as important resources? What piece of writing, figure, or influence have been transformative for you and why does this need to be shared with others?
The responses included song lyrics, comic books, street artists, groups and more. This task adds to the re-framing of what is often suggested to us as canonical, but with a queer focus.
