Description
This ongoing series of broadsides, a proclamation printed on one side of a single sheet of paper, advocates for Human Rights issues specific to LGBTQIA+ Communities and Disability Justice responding to right-wing backlash against populations that are minoritized and othered. As a Queer, Non-binary, Differently Abled Individuals these works speak to my existence and the existences of my communities. These risograph collages rely upon language to define their content contending with the understanding that “no position” is a political position. In the gallery the works are displayed wheat pasted to multiple wooden panels as they would be in built spaces accompanied by a city bench for seating. My hope for this socially engaged project is that the editions of posters will permeate the institution living in conversation with the Chautauqua Community, inspiring conversation and positive change.
