Scanned contributions from the qMatter project, 2023
Join artist Aaron McIntosh for a series of participatory workshops unfolding this fall alongside his exhibition π―ππ π―ππππ / π΄πππππ πππππ π in the Main Space.
Each participant is asked to bring something that marks their queerness or a queer loved one that will be shredded and pulped using papermaking processes to break down the contributed material into a communal form of compost. Consider bringing letters, important novels, posters, t-shirts, underwear, bandanas/hankies, magazine or newspaper clippings. All materials should be mostly of natural origin, such as cotton, paper, hemp, silk, etc. After macerating the collective materials, we will form the pulp into small pinch pots and add βcritter juice,β or compost activator, which you can take home and start or add to your own compost pile.
Participants will be gifted a copy of the project zine to take home. The gallery is wheelchair accessible.
