Queering is a method of disrupting fixed categories of thought to open new possibilities. Just as Pride parades ‘queer’ the streets, these posters bring queer bodies and their needs/pleasures/desires to known monuments, and public spaces, thereby queering them. Through our imagination, we are making these spaces more welcoming for those who identify as LGBTQIA+ and value diversity. Through these illustrated pieces, we are initiating a process of unsettling public spaces, or perhaps claiming them to be safe and symbolic to celebrate queer love!
