Queer Print Project: 2023 - 2025
The Queer Print Project (QPP) has used screen printing – a medium rich in political history – as a catalyst to create safe(r) spaces for Guelph’s queer communities to gather, reflect, and connect. Through multi-week workshops, 2SLGBTQIA+ participants explore their identities and share their collective and individual experiences, hopes, and struggles, while learning print fundamentals. Recent QPP workshop series have culminated in the production of screen-printed t-shirts that function as forms of everyday armor and resilience in the pursuit of queer liberation and safety, particularly amid rising anti-queer policy, rhetoric, and systemic violence.
The Queer Print Project was founded by Anna Gaby-Trotz, co-facilitated by Anna and Jude, and supported by Maeve Hind at Art Not Shame, the University of Guelph, the City of Guelph, and the Art Gallery of Guelph.
Three iterations of the project were respresented in Queer Print Project: Body Language at the Art Gallery of Guelph in 2026. Learn more about the exhibition HERE.
