These series of work came out from the "Making Gender: 2SLGBTQIA+ Studio" 2025 class which explores queer theory, gender, sexuality, the reflection of the past, present and the future. Asking how diverse cultural lived experiences confronts challenges and society structures through transcending visual languages and critiques. These 17 creators from diverse practice, tackle subject matters that are in our ever-changing global landscape lingering in the personal, the public realm, the nostalgia, the political, the cultural, and the social realm within the ever-changing queer narratives within 2SLGBTQIA+. During the class we had reflected on what a queer sense of be-longings can be within a hopeful future along with the allies in class that support ways of acceptance, equity, diversity and inclusion.
