Here Forever & Today

Here Forever & Today is a queer costume and photography project exploring visibility, self-expression and agency for queer youth, elders and beyond.

‍

Participants create wearable artifacts that serve as shields, statements and celebrations of being seen as their true selves. Participants are then invited to reclaim the school photo ritual with a “reverse picture day", further exploring how they want to be seen, when and by whom.

‍

This project prioritizes a space that upholds collective self-determination by centering liberation, care and resistance to compulsory surveillance.
