Queer Wine Night was one of the first community groups the artist ever attended. They remember what it was like before there was a capacity limit and the excited nervous feelings they had when they first went. They remember when GAY was written in the foggy hot window and everyone was packed inside like sardines. It is where they have since developed their chosen family and met so many of their pals by spending so many Tuesday nights at Paradise Grapevine.
The CHOSEN FAMILY series is an unlimited and ongoing series about 2SLGBTQIA+ community groups in Toronto. These pieces are focused on themes of belonging, queerness, and community to highlight the impact and importance of designated queer space.
Providing safe, queer space is fundamental for the longevity andsafety of 2SLGBTQIA+ people. Folks need to have community that they can lean on where they know they can be supported as the person that they are. Having groups that are designed for queer folks with intersectionalized marginalization is specifically important so that people can access support from others that understand their multidimensional perspective and experience.
Each illustration depicts the folks that organize and run these initiatives, the spaces in which they are held in, and the attendees. This series promotes and supports the ongoing efforts of these groups so they can continuing providing designated queer spaces.
For each print sold, 20-25% of sales will be donated to the community group that inspired the piece, to help support the organizer and the continuation of their events, activities and/or spaces.
